A shaker for Vallejo model paints and similar dropper bottles with a 92x92mm 12V fan.

Drill two 3mm holes in one of the fan blades and screw an M3x6mm screw with a lock nut there.
Glue the fan to a wooden board using 4 foam blocks as spacers.
Mount the plate with 4 M4x16mm screws and 2 nuts each on the fan at a distance.
Due to the unbalance of the 2 screws in one of the fan blades, the fan vibrates and the paint is mixed well.
The dropper bottles are slightly different in diameter. If it is too loose in the mount, clamp it with a piece of paper or something similar.
It is best to attach the wooden board to the table with a small clamp, otherwise it tends to move around.

Mounting plates for other fan diameters will follow soon.
