made a pcb motor bugeja style,

Thanks @gravis, for the hint

it took a lot of effort but I can spin prisms with a PCB motor.
The idea is that this enables me to further reduce manufacturing costs, assembly costs
and shrinks the size of my laser head. 
The coefficient of static friction is higher than kinetic friction, the prism should be able to go quite fast

I'm pretty sure I just gave you the idea... unless I've been sleepmaking stuff and sending it to you. ;)

You did...  I had seen bugeja's motor at the hackaday prize 2019, but thought it was  "too" complicated and not strong enough.. 
You definitely brought it back to my attention and made me question how hard it could be, now I am quite sure it is feasible..  It will still be a challenge to make it accurate (and fast)

I was trying to point out the fact that "@Gravis made a pcb motor bugeja style." from your post makes it seem like I made it when that is clearly not the case.

You have made good progress because advancements are not made in leaps and bounds but millimeters at a time.
