DIY electric paint stirrer

Post by MarkB15 »

In case you are interested. All for doing things on the cheap. Certainty less than the Badger one.

Get a hand fan remove Fan, add electrical connector with plastic stripped off. length of I think 2.5 mm wire. bend as illustrated.
Hardest bit is getting the balance right so it spins straight. If all else fails put the fan back on. I have also found a piece of straight sprue cut with the number indicator on the end jambed onto the hole works, but it is a bit fierce on small pots and can result in lots of spray. :wall:

You will need pliers for the bending.
