First make the leaf for the motor. Take a strong metal sheet draw a circle and cut it cleanly. now draw eight leaf and cut that 8 lines and bent it using pliers.make sure that your leaf are bented clearly.now drill a hole in the exactly center of the leaf.Then take a wire connecter and remove the outer plastic now screw it with leaf at one side.Take your motor and connect the shaft at the another end.Take a long sheet of metal sheet and bent it.
Step 3: Fixing the Motor
Take two nut and bolts and fix the motor inside the pipe.
Step 4: Making a Filter Net

Question 1 year ago on Introduction
Amazing! I'm grateful for this but I am curious what other materials could be suggested besides PVC...? I am purposely trying to get rid of PVC in my life as much as possible due to health concerns. Is there an ABS or PC pipe that would do? Thanks!
