I need a pulley with a dang ole motor on it so I can set up a run of wire rope above my pond and make a lure that's up in the air to make my dog swim from one side to the other. I made a flirt pole outta stuff laying around the house, but the little asshole just goes after the rope attached to the toy, and only goes after the toy if I move it back and forth.
Hi Sean, I may consider it in the future I’ve been asked so many times now. At the moment I just don’t have the time. Best bet is BULL-X lure machines, but they come at a hefty price.
I connected one wire to the negative battery terminal, and the other to the negative side of the speed controller. It all depends on the setup, to many amps will mostly likely burn it out, but I’m only running a 7.5amp battery. Hope this helps👍🏻
Thanks for showing this, looks great!, am working on something similar! As the line winds in on the spool and it's effective diameter increases do you find there's a noticeable lure speed increase that you have to account for with the controller? I'm thinking of making a wider spool to account for this, like a 3d printer filament spool. How did you connect your spool to the JP motor? Are you considering adapting it to be continuous loop? Did you put a fuse in it to protect the speed controller? I'm guessing the lure load is pretty low that the motor doesn't draw 7.5A anyway? Cheers!
I usually run it flat out, and give a good lead before slipping the dog! Only used it about 3 times since making it, but not much difference in speed as the line winds in, just have to release trigger in good time for the lure to slow up before it hits the box. The speed controller comes with a fuse fitted and it’s very accessible and easy to replace if ever it did go. There’s similar machine design videos that use the aluminium wheel that comes with the motor to attach the spool, I personally used a thread extension nut M6 and used an m6 bolt and washer to attach the spool/reel.
@@rabbitingon2503 cheers! For the moment I've just got a momentary switch wired to my motor which I'll pulse manually to keep it ahead of my dog. I was wondering if maybe the increasing torque on the motor as the effective diameter of the spool increases , assuming dragging the lure along the ground requires a fairly constant force, counteracts the effect of the increasing spool diameter giving faster lure velocity.... So it kind of cancels out and remains constant. Was thinking putting a small solenoid activated brake on it if 'over-run' was an issue.
@@rabbitingon2503 hi, was the hole in the centre of the spool a square one? ... I'm trying to find one with 6mm hole. Casting a boss into the centre of a cable spool by filling it with resin resulted in quite unbalanced result!
Great build!
I wish you would list the parts in the description

Would you consider making 1 of these to purchase I can’t find 1 anywhere to buy and this is ideal for what I’m looking compact and looks portable

@@rabbitingon2503 saw the price of them near had a stroke 🤣🤣… but if you’re willing to send 1 to Ireland fur the right money I’d be interested 🐾👍🏼🐾
Hello brother i need this to train my do can you please help me where can I find one
How can I contact one how much to make me one of these please
How did you hook up the Scalextric trigger?

I was considering casting resin into the large ID of a 3d printer spool, with the original aluminium fitting from the motor positioned in the middle 🤔

@@MartinParmiter yes it was square. I used a piece of 8mm aluminium tube with 6mm ID and placed in the centre to allow a good fit. Hope this helps.
