Rotisserie Mixer for Quart and Pint Paint Cans

I used a grill rotisserie motor to make a paint mixer.

Main paint can holder fits standard quart cans. Adapter fits pint cans.

The rotisserie motor I used:

The bearings (25x37x7mm):

Top is held on with some M6 bolts and wing nuts.

 

Show off.

 

Must've taken an age to print that lot.

 

Six main pieces. Few hours print time each. Wasn’t too bad. Spent a lot more time in CAD than printing!!

 

I bet you could use that as a tumbler for cleaning things like bolts and nuts too. I (fortunately) don't do enough painting to make it worthwhile but as a tumbler that would be great.

 

Very nice. What's the rpm of the motor? How much to print up an extra set of pieces?

 

It's just runs at the RPM of an average rotisserie chicken on the grill. Does not generate any centrifugal force or anything. It takes longer than a much more active pneumatic shaker, of course. I'm also working on a new version of a "leg" that will have two bearings and hold a can on each side - so you can have two or more cans spinning at once.

I am thinking I could make a set for $45 (plus shipping) - this would include the quart can holder, a pint can adapter, two legs, motor stand, two bearings, two bolts, and two wing nuts. Add your own motor and off you go.

 

Behold! The double whammy!!

 

You are a monster!
