Update: I've released a completely reworked version of this design which comes with a whole host of improvements. Check it out here: [https://www.printables.com/model/912094-motorized-escalator-model-redux](https://www.printables.com/model/912094-motorized-escalator-model-redux)

This is a motorized version of my mini escalator design.

You will need:

• 19 M3x12mm bolts
• 18 M3 nuts
• N20 geared motor, 30RPM 6V
• TP4056 battery charging board (USB C preferred)
• 18650 battery and holder (pouch cells probably work too, just need to find one that fits)
• DPDT 3-position On-Off-On toggle switch
• Wires
• Hot glue or double sided tape, to attach battery holder and charging board

Assembly is essentially the same as the non-motorized version, and parts are generally cross-compatible. Make sure to install the motor onto the right side outer guide before attaching the guide to the rest of the escalator.

Will add a more detailed set of assembly instructions when I find the time, likely in video form.
