  Some month ago i, and my hackerspace participated to an event/meet with some others hackerspaces/fablabs.
  I took the PunchStation with me !

  Hello,
  So i received new magnets (less strong) and with a hard disk magnet on the middle.

  Close view on the additional fan added:

  Hello hackers,

  So i started this project today and despite everything looking fine, my neodymium magnets are too strong for the motor !
  I'm waiting to receive new batch of neodymium magnets from eBay !

  The goal is to put everything in a PSX, the motor and the rest must be relatively small.
  For that i got a Coprel motor: AC 230V, 50Hz, 17W, 0,17 Amp

  For my speed control i'm using a KBMC-23BV, 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.5 Amp

  Main unit:
  

  The motor is attached with 3 cable ties.
  
  

  For the PSX i've used my dremel to remove a bit of plastic and did my CAD file with solidWorks to put the neodymium magnets, here are some pictures of the design:3D Printed:
  But the plastic bend and magnets goes stuck on the motor due to the force.
  

  I plan to add a 40x40mm fan for cooling the motor and find new magnets and revise my CAD design to the according new magnets (or maybe using bakelite instead of plastic, i have no idea).

  Power supply pinning of the PSX for future reference:
  To be continued.
