Summary
This is a model and attachment scheme for a rotary grinding tool (like a Dremel) that uses a small dc motor and two limit / lever micro switches.
I harvested some motors and a handful of limit switches from an off-brand roomba to incorporate into this simple rotary grinding tool that i use to post process printed models.
The attachment scheme here is a 'hat' that can be deformed to snap-fit into a matching slot on the tool head piece. I've used this to make various sanding and grinding heads that i can swap in and out as i need to.
If you have a spare motor and a switch this model may be a way to turn those items into a usable bench tool. More likely, however, you might find this model instructive for basing your own design on.

Ender 3
Supports:
Yes
Notes:
The only difficult to print piece is the Motor Cup mount, the cavity is meant to allow some space for the mount "hat" to deform into and this space requires a support to address the overhang, i've had success creating a cylindrical support that sits a couple millimeters inside the motor cup outer edge and then just prying it out.
