Update: I've released a completely reworked version of this design which comes with a whole host of improvements. Check it out here: https://www.printables.com/model/912094-motorized-escalator-model-redux

This is a motorized version of my mini escalator design.

Latest Fusion 360 file: https://a360.co/38LBZJZ

You will need:

19 M3x12mm bolts
18 M3 nuts
N20 geared motor, 30RPM 6V
TP4056 battery charging board (USB C preferred)
18650 battery and holder (pouch cells probably work too, just need to find one that fits)
DPDT 3-position On-Off-On toggle switch
Wires
Hot glue or double sided tape, to attach battery holder and charging board

Assembly is essentially the same as the non-motorized version, and parts are generally cross-compatible. Make sure to install the motor onto the right side outer guide before attaching the guide to the rest of the escalator.

Will add a more detailed set of assembly instructions when I find the time, likely in video form.
