This week was quite a good week. I have only worked for about 2 hours this week, but I have done a lot. I 3D printed a motor stand, however it was too small. So I reprinted it but made it bigger and it worked. I soldered wires to the motor so that it could connect to the battery. Then, my teacher Mr. Moss came up with an idea to use tubing that could be heat shrunk to connect the motor and the shaft. And it worked. The motor needs to be secured better, and that is my task for the upcoming week.

Heat Gun. Used it to heat shrink the tubing.
