Stir Plate

My printer was refusing to cooperate with the original design, so I decided to try my hand at creating one from scratch using materials I had on hand. https://tinkercad.com/things/6u5DwEen5iU https://tinkercad.com/things/6cJCLkIRHZi https://tinkercad.com/things/aYzolQJ91JE I picked up some 0.5-inch neodymium magnets from Michael's and glued them into the holder, which was then attached to the fan using CA gel. The setup held with just magnetic force at first, but I was worried it might vibrate or wobble over time, so I added a layer of glue for extra security. To complete the project, I glued some rubber pads onto the feet and secured the display into the base using more CA gel. Unfortunately, the tabs on the sides aren't the most robust mounts, but it'll do. The final result could be prettier if I had access to different PLA colors, but black is what I had left in stock.

The top required heavy fan cooling, so I ended up blowing a box fan at it to prevent warping and tape removal issues. Custom Section
