Hey all,
As the title states I am trying to fabricate an extremely slow moving device for a school project I am doing. Also I feel it's important to state that I'm VERY new to this mechanical world you all thrive in.... I just learned how to change my own cars oil the other day and I'm over 30 years old HA!
To explain further, I need to be able to rotate a very light weight plastic lid on top of the motor one full rotation over the coarse of 4 to 5 days respectively. I've been looking into stepper motors but I get lost as they seem a bit more complicated than I can handle... Are there other options or is there even anything in this world that rotates that slowly for cheap (again I'm a student)?
Your help is very much appreciated!
