DIYbio Magnetic Stirrer

thingiverse

This is a DIY bio magnetic stirrer case for an 80mm computer fan, a standard 10k potentiometer, and a DC jack for a 12V power adapter. The stirrer itself is taken from this Hackeria tutorial: http://hackteria.org/wiki/Magnetic_stirrer Video: https://youtu.be/wsxzPzaD56w It is designed in theory to divert most water away from the electronics with the cover shrouding and overlapping the inner electronics body, but be extremely careful and try not to spill anything. The whole point of a magnetic stirrer is that you can stir a container with the cap on! Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: Low Infill: 10-15% Notes: This was printed on a MakerBot Replicator 2 with PLA filament. How I Designed This Instructions Take off the feet and friction-weld them, then apply a spot of hot glue to give it rubbery "grip." There is no real need for screws to fasten the case together. The potentiometer has a nut that you can take off, fit on the other side of the case. The power adapter jack also helps hold it together. This is meant to be hacked and re-hacked over and over again, and when in use, sitting on a table, so it should not be an issue.
