There are 2 approaches, which seem to be used by hackers:
The birdbrain method: https://youtu.be/mm2ZiJNfISs?si=2QqST28nyiQPh9w5 --> PWM fan motor based
or sth. based on https://hackaday.io/project/192036-diy-spin-coater

My personal preference is to the 2nd one.
Cutting off plastic with a knife and using some pwm-fan looked hacky.
Furthermore, an approach with brushless motors makes it possible to "upgrade" the device, if we need sth. with more punch.
