Clearly I’m using the wrong motor, I though I had calculated it out but apparently when it’s under load (the mobile part) it heats up to the point that it melted the hot glue holding it in place. Not great, how do I rectify this?

Here’s the assembly, that’s a three AA battery pack

All parts in question Button, Battery pack, Motor

If anyone has any idea of what motor could handle this or what math I’m not calculating for I would really appreciate it

    I’m sorry, but I giggled at the thought of a poor cat just getting smacked in the face with a feathery toy at high speed and it just being all “whuh???”

      You’re right to giggle, they stand there all confused until it gets to like 4 bops and finally decide to get out of there.

      They’re dumb but we love them.
