So the motor was definitely the wrong choice. Or may be not the best for a directly driven gear. I have to come up with a gearbox, speeding down a beefier motor to make it work. The arduino was underfed with power when the motor turned so there was no way to get a satisfying light show :( I'm going to replace the arduino with an attiny45 later, but it was easier to get started with this setup. For the time it moved, there was almost no friction on the 3D printed parts. Any Ideas?
Here is a video of it not moving but glowing, a sonic screwdriver and me saying "crap".
