12V centrifuge aka "spindryer"

thingiverse

12V motor, bottom part of a 2L coke bottle, some wire, and the 3D printed parts come together to create a centrifuge that can be used for drying your clothes while camping. The whole thing is placed in a milk crate to have a semi-flexible mount, allowing for smooth operation. Best results are obtained with a custom pvc pipe suspension, which can be tailored to specific needs by sending a private message or commenting here. For now, it's temporarily fixed in place with transparent tape inside a small blue basket, but it can also be screwed directly into a wooden base. More details reveal that there is a screw, 2 washers and a nut going through the bottom of the coke bottle to secure everything in place. Better results are achieved when you cut off the bottom of the bottle and use the top part with the bottleholder.obj file, which allows it to be screwed directly onto the motor without any metal parts needed - just a small droplet of glue on the axle will do. The screw's diameter corresponds perfectly with the FreeCAD part diameter called "screwaxle". Meanwhile, the soft drink bottle has lots of holes made with a cork opener, each about 1mm in diameter or less. When it comes to printing, the motor holder part is designed with 20% infill for flexibility, while the coupler (smaller part) requires at least 60% infill for maximum strength - no supports needed, just a brim for better adhesion.
