It's less amusing? Seriously, he is using the search function, so I give him credit there. He loses credit for the necro, though...especially when he doesn't read through the thread where the plans are posted on the above link. Too effing funny.And why wouldn't you just click on the link. :confused

Just found this link for a DIY rotocast machine. Hope it helps someone!

That's the one I made, it works great!
I never put gearing on it, I simply mounted the mold in the rotocaster purposely off balance, so when it spun the inner frame spun opposite of the outer one.
I used an cordless drill to spin it.
Yea, you'll have to be careful with wiper motors. Many R2 builders still use wiper motors to power their R2 foot drives. You may want to pay attention to trash days or Craig's List and see if you can scavenge a good motor and speed control from a treadmill. Another option would be to hit Harbor Freight and buy a cheap drill or winch.
