Drill Press Electronics Base + Motor/Drill Sleeve Adaptor -Amazon
Description
PDFI remixed thing:2763330 because I wanted to use the cheap 12v electric Jewelry craft drill (Hand drill kit) that amazon sells. Link: https://www.amazon.com/AUTOTOOLHOME-Electric-Drill-Motor-Drills/dp/B01LZYWFE4/ref=sr_1_5?crid=33LJ1XB5N8PZY&keywords=electric+motor+drill&qid=1706632744&sprefix=electric+motor+drill%2Caps%2C90&sr=8-5 because it is half the price of the larger motor used in this original build.
To use this smaller "Jewelry" Drill motor I had to design a sleeve/bushing that slides over this smaller 26mm motor to adapt it to the larger 35mm motor mount that this drill press was designed for.
I also wanted to have a box or housing to house all of the electronics for the drill such as the battery pack, variable motor switch and the wires. The box I designed works perfect. It is able to be hot glued to the bottom of the original drill press base plate and house all your electronics. You will just need to drill a 1/2" hole in the front of the housing for the variable motor switch and a 1/2" hole through the back-side of the housing to run your power wires out.
The variable motor speed switch I used is also from amazon LINK: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MK1SKRT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
With the both STL's and the two links I provided you will be able to make your drill press just like mine with a little DYI skills. :)

**NOTE: DEPENDING ON YOUR FILAMENT AND PRINT TEMPS YOU MAY NEED TO LIGHTLY SAND/CHAMFER THE INSIDE OF THE MOTOR SLEEVE TILL YOU CAN SLIDE IT OVER THE MOTOR EASIER BUT IT SHOULD BE A NICE TIGHT FIT****The Electronics Housing/Base can be hot glued to the bottom of the original drill plate
-Battery Pack used was a AAx4 Pack but should fit a AAx6 Pack too**
The springs I used for the drill press head were from a cheap harbor freight spring kit.. I drilled two 2.5mm holes at the top of the motor plate and threaded in two m3 bolts to hold the upper springs in place and hooked the bottom of the springs around the lower motor mount bolts.. (THIS WORKS GREAT! FEELS MORE LIKE AN ACTUAL DRILL PRESS NOW)
