Unpopular opinion: motor is overrated

Just wanted to share my latest display project. It's not perfect but I'm proud of how it turned out.

The process took about a year and I learned so much along the way. The hardest part was definitely staying motivated but once I figured that out, the rest fell into place.

Feedback welcome!
