yes. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/b-eT_yn5etY .... but is still in test. I am waiting on a smaller sk-30 motor and redo- it with motor enclosed and more clean. But would like to fix also this flaw of some stuff sliding thru.
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/4001...list.product.mainProduct&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra ...motor is actually S30K 3rpm 12v
Keen to know why a float switch rather than an optical sensor?
V2 in test today... if all good i'll upload the files and send link. And i think to have found the flaw....basically i've cut my roll too thin, it was missing half centimeter in width and was enough to let stuff escape. I've recut it at perfect size and nothing go thru anymore. BTW S30K motor have plenty of power already.
Yeah i found and corrected the flaw now nothing goes thru. I've used a float for 3 reason. 1 i think it less prone to fail or problem if basically maintained (i have them in my 3 diy ATO and never had a problem), 2 they are cheap and readily available. 3 i already had it in the house
awesome, im interested to see how you've sealed the motor. I have a couple of similar motors coming in a couple of days. are you winding your own fleece?V2 in test today... if all good i'll upload the files and send link.

If i had money to throw at it i would probably have bought the klir...but with this i've thrown like 15€ and i will be plenty happy of it if it let me get away from socks.
the motor is super tight fit in the case, the wire hole has been siliconed, front motor is alreayd encased in plastic by manufacturer, only open to problem part is sprocket (pinion) and i have liquid taped it. For the fleece i've made a hexagonal hole in one of the rolls in order to user a electric screwdriver to roll it on the spool.
That's good to know. I got some of Klir fleece to cut down but ill have to checkout the reefmat fleece. Im planning to use my lathe with an exacto knife to cut the fleece.the motor is super tight fit in the case, the wire hole has been siliconed, front motor is alreayd encased in plastic by manufacturer, only open to problem part is sprocket (pinion) and i have liquid taped it.

The spool is a redsea reefmat 500 rolls that i've cut to size with a kitchen knife and a 3d printed template and then rolled with the electric screwdriver. It takes few second.
Isn't the best one but is surely the cheapest one, even if i have to replace a motor every few months, it's like 2/4€ to do it.
