V-Spooler Easy Motor Drive

The motor drive options for the V-Spooler that are out there are great, but for me they are a bit more than I am interested in spending. I wanted something that was lower cost, and in fact, had a few parts laying around like a creality stepper motor, cable, and 40mm fan that I had laying around.   https://youtube.com/shorts/G9EIm2ZMaKk?si=0hnGl3otPtRES-5D   Disclaimer #1: I’m not a mechanical designer, but this seems to work well so far. I bought the following, and there are links for it from Amazon, or AliExpress, depending on how fast you want the parts and how much you want to pay.   Disclaimer #2: As mentioned, I used a Creality 42-40 Stepper Motor that I had, a cable I had, and 40mm fan I had. The links below are for reference, there are a lot of alternatives. I didn’t use/purchase anything other than the DC Stepper Motor Driver with Control Module and the 12vdc power supply (though the power supply was bought a while ago for my filament dryer)   Total from Amazon: ~$61 USD Total from AliExpress: ~$35 USD (and it’s likely the exact same stuff from Amazon)   DC Stepper Motor Driver with Integrated Control Module $26 on Amazon DC Stepper Motor Driver with Controller Integrated Board DC 5~30V 4A Forward/Reverse Pulse Speed Angle Control Module Programmable PLC Serial Communication SMC02 Drive All-in-One for 42 57 Motor: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific $17 on AliExpress Drive Integrated 42 57 Stepper Motor Driver Controller Forward Reverse Control Driver Angle Pulse Speed PLC Serial Communication - AliExpress   Stepper Motor Cable (cut the non-motor end connector off to wire it) $9 on Amazon Amazon.com: 3Pcs 3D Printer Stepper Motor Cables Lead Wire HX2.54 4 Pin to 6 Pin, Stepper Motor Wires 1.5M for Ender 3, Ender 3 V2, Ender 3 Pro, Ender 5 Pro 3D Printer Nema 17 Stepper Motor, : Industrial & Scientific $1.69 on AliExpress   Stepper Motor (Nema 17) $8 on Amazon Amazon.com: Nema 17 Stepper Motor, 40N.cm 1.68A Bipolar 2 Phases 1.8 Degree, TEQStone 42-40 Step Mot
