THIS IS A DRAFT ARTICLE. Still WIP...

Hardware

DC 12V Gear Motor

This one, in its 72 RPM edition looks good enough. Alternatively, this one should work too.

Power adapter INPUT AC 110-240V / OUTPUT DC 12V 5A

This one on Amazon seems to do the job.

6mm Hex key or Hex shaft

This one on Obi.de.

Maybe also buy a shaft coupler 6mm-10mm, if the motor takes in a 10mm shaft for instance.

Switch 3 positions reverse polarity???

Unsure...
