Have you tried making your own rotary tool? Let us know in the comments section below! The front cover is mostly for holding the rotary tool closer to the tool bits to give more control. Smaller tool bits fit in directly, but for larger bits either you may sand the opening hole of the front cover or not use the front cover. Put the potentiometer cap back on.Ĭut, Engrave, Sand, Polish, Drill many materials including most Plastics, Woods, relatively Soft Metals like Aluminium. Insert the chuck on the motor shaft and secure it. Tuck the motor wires in, and stick the lower casing to the other half casing by applying adhesive at the edges. Using a minimum of two M3 self tapping screws, secure the PWM controller board to the lower casing. Remove the potentiometer cap from the PWM controller and insert it through the hole at the end of the lower casing. ![]() Using 2 machine screws provided with the motor (usually M3 screws), secure the motor to the front side of the casing. If not, switch the wires going into ‘Motor +/-’ terminals. Turn on the 12V supply to ensure that the motor turns counter-clockwise. ![]() Then connect one end to the ‘Power +/-’ terminals on the circuit board and other end to a 12V power supply. Pass 2 wires through the smaller hole at the end of the ‘lower-part’ and through the small triangular hook as shown in image. Solder the wires to motor terminals, the other ends go to the ‘Motor +/-’ terminals on the PWM controller circuit board. Paint outside in open area and use safety gear. Apply 4 coats for a nice soft-touch feel. You could also temporarily connect the motor to a 12V battery and chuck, and use the tool bit for sanding.ĭon’t forget to wear appropriate safety equipment.Īfter sanding and finishing, Paint the lower-part with Black Rubber Automotive Paint for a nice grip and aesthetics. Especially the snap fit at the front cover. Sand and Finish the parts to get the right fit and remove irregularities. The parts should be printed with PLA with a 0.2mm layer height. You can either print these using your own 3D printer or use a printing service such as 3D Hubs. To start off with, you’ll need to print the 3 parts which make up the casing. How To Make Your Dremel-Style Rotary Tool 3D Print The Casing 12V Power Supply, At Least 5A Current – Buy Here.Black Rubberized Automotive Paint(Optional) – Buy Here.Mini Chuck/Collet Set for 3.17mm Shaft – Buy Here.12V DC Motor: Listed as 6000 rpm, RS-550S Motor.What You’ll Need To Build Your Own Dremel-Style Rotary Tool ![]() The rest of the casing is made up of 2 parts stuck together using adhesive and holds the motor and pcb with ventilation holes for cooling. It has a snap fit which makes it detachable for changing tool bits. The front part has a groove for more control while doing detailed work. The design was done by Makernaut who used Fusion 360 for the 3D CAD model. There are plenty of DIY Dremel-style rotary tool ideas available on the internet but there isn’t really anything that is powerful enough or usable in the long term, while still looking good! So here are plans to make your own 3D Printed Dremel-style rotary tool which is compact and light, yet powerful enough for 90% of the things you’ll need to do and makes much less noise than commercial ones. ![]()
