Once again, concerning ANY DIY vid... always go to the last 30 seconds to see if its worth your view. If so, start it over.

I don't see what all the negative comments are about. This little project turned out to be a real winner. It started with a great idea, then ended up being a perfectly working battery operated window blind. I challenge anyone who thought this was a waste of their time to come up with something better.

I'm disappointed by most of the comments. Why can't people just move on instead of being rude? The usefullness of the project outcome is often less important to the creator than the design and execution of the idea. Your design and execution, especially the attention to detail is AWESOME. As a maker myself, I understand this concept. It takes an incredible amount of thought and creativity to make something like this. I applaud your skills and time spent to make the project and video. Thank you

[@629Justme]

I really appreciate how you thought about what the door lifter was. A motor that could be powered by a 12v battery with enough torque to do some real work. In re orientating it, we can see how it really has potential outside its intended use. Mounted sideways connected to a long rod actually makes me see more ways a motor could be used. Thanks for teh inspiration. Now to get a few old window lifter motors now that I see what they were built for......high torque situations. thx.
