Its construction will involve applying several technical skills (mechanics, electricity, wooden handicrafts...)

Approx. dimensions of this mechanical part are:

[width x height x depth] (as seen in above photos)

34 x 55 x 33 mm (without external gears)
55 x 55 x 44 mm (with external gears & mounting tabs)
150 mm axle track (as shown in picture below)
