Bill of Materials

  • 1x DC Gear Motor

    The beating heart of the Marble Pump is this little right angle DC Gearmotor. The Marble Pump has been designed and tested around a motor rated for 24V / 10RPM. However, slower and faster motors could be used to achieve different pump performance characteristics. There are a large variety of voltages and RPMs avaialble in this form factor.

  • 1x DPDT (on-off-on) Toggle Switch

    This switch will act as the entire direction control system for the pump.

  • 1x USB C PD Trigger PCB

    This little PCB lets you select what voltage you want to run your pump at from the available voltages your USB-C PD power supply provides. To get maximum pump speed, you will need a USB-C PD charger that can provide upto 20V.
