Help me find (or make) this zesting attachment

Yesterday I saw a video somewhere which I now cannot find, where a young woman was standing in front of a Kitchenaid mixer holding a Microplane. Attached to the mixer on a spike jutting out from the top was a lemon, so when the mixer was turned on the lemon rotated. She held the Microplane against the lemon and the zest came off in about ten seconds.
I zest SO MANY lemons for work and it takes me forever, so I was thrilled to find a way to do it so quickly. However I cannot find any way to buy and/or make the spike attachment. There’s one seriously over-engineered one called a TurboZester for over $100 but it’s out of stock and more than I can afford anyway. There’s also a defunct company called Zesty whose website won’t load. There has to be something else! It’s basically a standard Kitchenaid attachment seating prong on one side and a spike or fork on the other, it seems so simple but is unavailable anywhere I can see. Please help me discover or reproduce this handy gadget.

I think the Spiralizer will allow you to do that if you just skip attaching any of the other Spiralizer tools.

(see also electric potato peelers and electric apple peelers if you don't have a KitchenAid.)
