Working on a polymer clay project and got tired of hand cranking the pasta machine. Had a few spare arduino and stepper parts , made a connector and life is much easier.

And a little video of it working...

Very nice. I remember when I used to make pasta 15 years ago...a motor was available, probably not as good as yours though!

I could, but I think you're suppose to fold it - maybe I could make a folder - hmmm:biggrin:

You need your mom's wringer washing machine.

Good to see your inventive mind is sharp.
