Paint Pot Stirrer

thingiverse

My wife ditched using scraps like wood, cane, and sticks for stirring paint because they weren't getting the job done right. She opted for a few high-quality plastic stirrers that cost £1 each. As I'm a penny-pincher from Scotland, she asked me to create some more with my 3D printer. I whipped up a design in Fusion 360 and dialed in the settings on our Ender 3 printer. The result was customized paint pot stirrers that only set us back 20p each - five times cheaper than buying the plastic ones! They also hang perfectly inside the paint tin until we need to give it another stir. I've uploaded the STL files so you can print your own and the STEP file if you want to modify the design. Now we're saving money while decorating our home with ease.
