Peanut Butter Mixer

This is a peanut butter mixer inspired by the similar (and bigger) model of paint mixer. Only I've adapted it to 3D printing / plastic from the original metal ones.

Diameter of the ring is 40mm.

The model in the pictures would be v1.0 whereas the downloadable model (and CAD image) would be v1.1; the design of the base has changed a wee bit to limit pesky support removal.

That said, plan and set your supports carefully; it can be quite a challenge / job to remove.

Rod and mixer separate to ease printing, assembled and secured with a bit of metal wire (or bent paper clip).

Be mindful that the rod is plastic. If you spin it at full speed in the air it will go in all directions and probably break with the most minute imbalance; guide it with your fingers. In the peanut butter, no worries, the stuff keeps it nicely centered / prevents flailing.

Wash by spinning in warm soapy water.
