ok i was in the process of making one of these when I realized my mouse does not work when playing any mame games so why would the spinner work? |

clhug- Could you use the pipe that is a little bit too big, but wrap something around the motor? Like maybe some electrical tape, making a few revolutions until it fits snugly, making sure start and finish the wrap in the same place? |

It works okay but I'm concerned with the tape eventually slipping and the pipe falling off. Also, it appears the piece of pipe I bought isn't formed quite exactly symmetrical and it wobbles a bit too. It's noticeable even just rolling the pipe on the counter. I could probably live with it if I had to but I'm still looking for a better solution. |

Did you look at different pipes too? PVC, ABS, Conduit, PVC Conduit, Copper, Galvenized, Fence Poles :). I'm guessing you needed something heavier so you went galvenized I'm just curious as I'm guessing most of those have a different ID. How much of the pipe fits over the motor? If it's really close, maybe you could get the smaller size and hook up the piece to a drill with some bushings and spin it while sanding the inside with a file to make it small enough. The spinning will help keep the sanding symentrical. |
