It's nice to hold a real part in your hands after such a long period of construction. However, this part appears to be a manufacturer's design, which makes it so realistic.

There is a chance that a small series will be produced because I used a standard motor and transmission. However, I first have to finish the prototype. With the relocation of the workshop, this will take a while. I will continue to publish updates on the progress here in the future...
