Paint shaker for miniatures.

Paint shaker for miniatures. It's designed to fit Vallejo and citadel botles.

((The sound mostly comes from the two stirring balls inside the paint bottle. The paint holder has two versions, one with two hooks for the rubber. The stirrer is designed so that the moving support doesn't hit the columns, and the movement is relatively smooth. I haven't added no type of hook or support for the table ; I simply attach it with two small pieces of thick, rubbery double-sided tape on the base. When the work is done, rotate the device to separate it from the table , and the tape peels off easily, leaving no residue.))
 
 

                                                         :::::::::UPDATE:::::::::

The support mounting system has been updated. It now uses a dovetail joint and is easily interchangeable. No more glue.
A wider support for Citadel-type bottles is included.
Two hooks for rubber band added.
The .f3d and .3mf files have been updated.
A blank base support template has been added so users can customize it for their specific can type.

(Updated the .f3d file, the .3mf file, and the print profile)                             

I haven't used any kind of anchor to the table, just a small piece of double-sided tape that I remove when I finish using the mixer:
 

To mount the bearings, join 2 bearings with a 15mm screw and 2 nuts, as shown in the image below (2 sets are required).

A photo of the connecting rod has been added, as some people have asked me about the bearings on both ends. It uses the same system on both sides (a combination of screw-bearing-nut-bearing-nut).

 

It uses a simple rubber band to hold the bottles. The interchangeable bottle support is also held in place with the same rubber.
 

I use a 9V, 1A power supply, but since it has a PWM controller, a 5V to 12V power supply can be used.
 

The 12V motor is a geared motor with 1360 RPM, but an 800 RPM motor would be sufficient.

The screws are M4 round-head (flat below), in lengths of 10, 14, 20, and 25mm. (Some 4mm washers are optional.)
 

The rods are made of stainless steel with an outer diameter of 4mm.
 

The voltage regulator has a range of 4.5-35V and 0-5A.
 

The bearings are 4x11x4mm.

Needs some wires for mount all.

Needs grease (preferable) or WD40 type lubricant (not degreaser) for the rods.

The movable print piece where the metal rods are inserted must be printed as included in the .3mf, with the holes facing upwards so that they come out perfectly and slide well.

I used UV resin to glue the components inside the base, but you can use whatever you like, such as hot glue:
