Screwed - My Window Stopped Working!

            This worm gear came from my 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth window control mechanism that I had to replace.  If you know me, you know I like little motors so I dissected out the motor and found this interesting worm gear.  I've posted the complete armature part of the motor before and I even shot this gear once but never posted it.  So, with "Screw" for the Macro Mondays theme this week I decided to shoot it again and see what I could come up with after a bit of cleaning. So much for the rusty lag bolt...

The worm screw gear is relatively small and measures 0.35 in. x 1.0 in. I used the Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro lens w/PK-12&13 Extension Tubes, 41.5mm total extension and a 30 image focus stack at f/5.6 to keep everything sharp. The first time I shot this I found the orange and blue clamps that I used to "suspend" the gear had snuck back into the reflection so I wrapped the clamps with my gold ribbon and taped some to a piece of cardboard that I placed below the gear.  I used blue tape to hold the ribbon to the cardboard and it got picked up but I liked the look by the gold.  You can also probable guess the color shirt I'm wearing.
