This is my Inverse Kinematic Paint Mixer, as seen at https://youtu.be/FnnN7typFP0

These printed parts combined with the following non-printable parts will make an automated mixing station for your small paint bottles (up to 45mm Diameter).

Use it to shake and mix your paints, or even revitalise old paints by putting them in the mixer with a ball bearing.

Print instructions

Print in the orientation provided, without supports.

You will need 2 of the Pivot Arm, and 2 of the Drum Tightener.

Note: For the tightener mechanism to work, your printer must be dialed in quite well as there are very fine tolerances involved.

Mine was printed on a Prusa MK3S with default profile in Prusament Jet Black PLA & Matt's Hub Green PLA.

You will also need these parts:

A 70 RPM 12 V motor (https://www.jaycar.com.au/70rpm-12vdc-reversible-gearhead-motor/p/YG2732)
A Toggle Switch (https://www.jaycar.com.au/spdt-miniature-toggle-switch-solder-tag/p/ST0335)
A 2.1mm Dc Socket (https://www.jaycar.com.au/2-1mm-bulkhead-male-dc-power-connector/p/PS0522)
3x M4x 20mm screw
5x M4 Nuts
1x m3x10mm screw
4x #16 Rubber Bands
and finally a 12V Power Supply

Follow the build in the video.
