Rotary Encoder Printable - Optical Sensor

20210105_162133.jpg

3D printed optical rotary encoder using cheap 3d printer.

It cost you almost nothing if you have the optical sensors ..

Rest of the components are just cheap.

I prefer you use small metal balls .. I don't have it so I printed them. But using small balls might make the clicking-mechanism smoother.
