The bearings make an appearance! Brilliant solution. You're getting close! Digital problems seem easier to solve than physical ones. If 3d printer parts are suitable for the motors/drivers/boards I've got spares I could donate to the project.
@@SnapBeat.official I do think you're on the right track, but I think I know what your "recovery of rotation" problem is about. It's not about the strength of the motor, or at least not entirely about that. If you're interested: You're driving the reels with the motor, right? That would have been my first thought too, but don't do that. If you want it to work like a record player, you have to drive the *platter* with the motor. You'll have to find just the right balance of grippage and slippage between the motor and the platter (so that your hand can take control without affecting the motor), but I don't think there's any other way to make it work properly. The motor has to keep constant speed while you're scratching (that's what a record player does if you have a slipmat, which every vinyl DJ has). You can't be fighting or stopping the motor, because that's how you get slow recovery and also how you ruin the motor in the long run. So the motor can't be what's driving the reels directly. The platter has to be in complete control of the reels at all times, and the motor has to have enough grippage to spin the platter when you let go (like a record player), but enough slippage to keep spinning freely when you take control (like a slip mat on a record player). I can picture a couple different ways that could work. Both involve felt between the motor and the platter. A third way involves moderate-torque ball bearings, if that's a thing you can get your hands on, but felt seems simpler (just probably not as durable). Rolling against an outer edge underneath the platter (with light pressure applied by some kind of spring, like a piece of flexible metal), or perhaps between two concentric cylinders in the middle (with moderate tightness; grippage/slippage balance is key), with the inner cylinder being attached to the platter and the clutch mechanism and the outer cylinder driven by the motor via rubber band or gears. You might also want a good grippy surface on top of the platter so your fingers always have more grip than the felt. I hope any of this made sense. If not, I could try drawing it, but I'm not good at drawing.
That's a cool idea and build.
Thank you very much✨

Thank you for your support 😆! In fact, I own three 3D printers prototype. Yeah, as you mentioned, mechanism is the key for cassette technology.
Really enjoying seeing the progress on this. I'm sure you'll crack it. It certainly looks like you're getting somewhere.
Thanks for your kind comment 😊

Awesome!!
Thanks!
The sound hears like gun and its reloading 😂
I am cassette DJ to
Great! What instruments are you using?
Ehh, the design isn‘t the best
