Motor Box Optimized - Mini Train Dioramas

Motor Box Optimized (Maker Supply Parts) for Mini Train Dioramas

This is another motorization option for the Mini Diorama series.
The box uses only gears from the 'Reduction Gear Kits' and no 3D-printed gears.

Insta Reel
A small 030 motor is used, which allows for a low-profile design.
One motorized box can drive three additional unmotorized ('empty') boxes.
The power is transmitted via additional gears, and the boxes are held together by hidden magnets.

You can drive any diorama from the Mini Train Diorama collection.

Features:

• molded gears for reliable function
• only 23mm height
• one motor drives 4 boxes
• power button on the outside when connected
• hidden magnets
• batterys can be replaced very easy
• clean look
• manual turning through the outer gear feels nice (especially with empty boxes)
