Pot stirrer

This text spinner redesigns your parametric pot stirrer description. The 12V motor, sourced from eBay at a speed of 10 RPM, rests on top of the pot and operates with an adaptor, though it could also run on batteries depending on power requirements. For easy detachment of the motor, a modified parametric spider coupling (inspired by Turbo Mixer) is utilized; however, the spider itself isn' s necessary due to one-way rotation's minimal backlash issue. The default stirrer design caters to an 11cm flat base pot, but this can be adjusted in the SCAD file as needed. An updated SCAD file has been uploaded with additional options for hub attachment following a distortion incident during porridge cooking and blade clogging issues. Future improvements may involve changing the profile or using a more heat-resistant material like nylon printing or casting in a heatproof substance. The pot's overhanging plastic is protected by Kapton, which survived well. The required parts include a 12V DC 10RPM high torque motor, batteries and holder (or DC power supply), aluminum struts (like 10x10mm but adjustable in the scad file), M3 screws and nuts for fixing struts to the motor and supports to the struts, and M8 shaft with nuts (optional self-locking) for the coupler and blades. Print attachments vertically might be problematic due to shearing rotation. Drill holes in the struts for different pot sizes by moving supports accordingly. Various stirrer sizes can be made to fit diverse container dimensions, as long as the jaw coupling remains the same size, allowing one motor/top end to drive them all. Happy stirring!
