How to get really cheap gearboxes ?

Hi,

i would like to get some for nothing or almost. I am looking for very tiny gears for this purpose, the shafts are not really a problem for me, they are easy to find and work. I am looking for like 1cm diameter gears in average... Do you think i can't make better than buying them ? Can i make them ?

How does this involve Arduino controllers handled in this Arduino forum?

There are people who say you get what you pay for.
If you are real lucky then maybe. What you pay for may be junk or a screwing.

There are often tiny gears in old CD drives and printers, if you have a source of those.

You can do it but you will need equipment, https://youtu.be/8QNGDGnGKvA?si=OgH2MQk1tqABAdK9

Personally I would either buy some or go skip diving for printers, photocopiers and cd drives
