Think how a FAN motor is constructed, it has the copperwire coils in the centre(easy to resin coat/seal) and the magnet on the outside, it's the outside that spins.

With a 'normal' motor the coils are on the outside of the shaft/magnets that spin, usualy in a curcular steel tube/case. It might be possible to encase the lot then lathe the outside and drill the centre, but then there's the bearings as well!, also the shaft is usualy ferrous metal... It's impossible if Nico says so, I recon he's carefuly considered it already ...

Needs to be a FAN motor people :shrug: ...

Does it HAVE to be DC though Nico?. I trust your resin as much as I trust Eheims ...
