Single Piston Auto Tapper

thingiverse

I am playing tap my Katamari. It's a very simple tapping game, but I grew tired of tapping myself. So I built a machine to tap for me! I just added a small motor, 9v batter, and a switch, and presto, a tapping machine! I used the single piston designed by sirmakesalot. I tweaked the piston for the radius of my stylus, and added a small hole in the middle of the Gear Housing Axle for the motor spindle. Then the stand is hoist it all above your phone. Ah pistons, the best way to translate rotational movement to vertical movement! Post-Printing Assembly The Stylus I used was 7.7mm in outer diameter. So you might need to adjust the Piston Head hole for use with your own design. I use a small torch lighter to help me assemble the base to the stand as the tolerance is way to tight, but a little shaving and melting made it a really tight fit. I havent done this yet, but test out the exact distance your phone needs to be away from the piston, mark it and screw/bolt it in place (The Piston housing to the stand I mean...). Was a scrap switch and motor I used, and a 9v Battery with a wire attachment thingy. How I Designed This Tinkercad I imported the files into Tinkercad and exported them back into here.
