A model instructable. Excellent and useful.Dhandapani.India

Hi. This was a nice instructable.Today when I came across a nonfunctional DVD drive, started dismantling, collected 3 variety of motors for future use and was looking at the metal case and hard plastic drawer mechanism. The DVD transfer slide gets locked up and cannot be opened without operating the lever inside. For this you have to dismantle 4 screws holding the plate from the bottom side. I would like to inform all readers that this a very safe HIDING place for Spare Keys, even Jewels as the intruder is most unlikely to expect this as a safety locker. Dhandapani.India

Out of Three motors, one with a pulley fixed can be used directly.For the other 2 stepper motors can anybody suggest a simple circuit and all details to effectively use them in projects. The one which moves the Laser is simply wonderful and can be used for a variety of projects. Waiting for a valuable suggestion.Dhandapani

Very useful tool in any workshop. Thanks for the details.Dhandapani

Great Idea. This instructable will be extremely simple and useful especially in an emergency situation or a remote location where replacement tubes cannot be procured immediately. Even a non technical person can carryout this.Expect more of such ideas.Thanks.

Nice Instructable. What I try first is to spray WD 40 all round the stubborn screw.Allow to soak for few minutes and the try normal methods. I did not read all the comments. May be someone has already suggested this simple attempt.Dhandapani.

Wonderfully simple but a very useful tool for craftsmen.Nice instructable.

Wonderful attempt and congratulations for successfully completing the project and enjoying a cool coke. I feel that for better insulation & structural strength a branded hot case with plastic body and lid can avoid a lot of assembly time. Only the provision for peltier and other electrics are required. Thrill of making might be lost. Just shared a thought. Dhandapani

Great instructable for hobbyists who like to know how things work.I also like to salvage parts for using in other projects than scrapping the item as it is.Step by step described in a beautiful way.Thanks.
