3D Printed Mini Escalator - Motorized Version

Added a motor to my functional escalator design. Drives the mechanism via a small gearmotor tucked neatly underneath the steps, connected by a gear pair to the main sprocket. Also underneath the steps are an 18650 battery and charging board (with USB C!), allowing it to operate independent of any external power source.
This design is largely backwards-compatible with the non-motorized escalator. Everything from the original design except for the outer guides and the driveshaft can be reused.

Well that escalated from the hand cranked version quickly! Great job and thanks to Hackaday for the referral.

[@JSeds]

I challenge you to add moving handrails!

No red Emergency STOP Button in sight... Would not recommend 😑

[@gazoutdoors7525]

nice

[@mariniguidi7881]

Sorry, i have a question, how did you do the connection? Can you tell me what materials did you use? I need to do this for school and i don´t have any idea.

[@St.MarysKnights]

there is no step by step instructions to put any of the steps or links together

[@lucasayu5628]

Good Job, now I print it, now I´m going to ensamble.

So beautiful! Awesome! 💓

[@snowboyz34]

awesome. Keep up good work.

[@holybananapeel3795]

How did you put the steps together, just wanna know :)

[@brandonnesfan]

They're printed as individual pieces and linked with a chain so it's pulling itself throughout the track instead of just push/pulling the current top step

[@taster2365]

So sweet!

[@ritazhu9387]

this is awesome.

[@ailtonalcantarasilva3791]
