It's not a whole lot better on the pc.
@Dietz post was a 250ml glass beaker R40.
The page of interest seems to be the beakers and stirbars.

Well for starters, I can't find a search bar and no "menu" dropdown option to look into categories.

Now I'm going to look for a brown case to make me a stirrer or just to store my gear...
Good job and well done to all

I agree, this site is a bit finicky, but there is expandable menu in the top right corner, everything is categorized there.

They are 12v led light modules. They turn on when the stirrer is of. That is what they should do with this wiring. The problem lies with the initial power to switch...I think. Going to play around and start fault finding therem

Is there a purpose to the LED's, or is it just for bling factor?

Absolutely just for bling factor.

This thread got me wanting to make another one of these. My 5v PC fan died when a fed it a diet of 12v trying to get it to sun faster so this time round going for a full on 5 litre V8! Ooops, three speed 220V electric fan motor, this thing should be able to mix concrete! Got the idea somewhere above.

Not finished yet:


But this is what it should look like when it is:

That's correct, I'm simply adding the switch to see if I understand everything correctly and also to test that all components are working. At the moment the trying to up my knowledge and trying to find a way that the logic makes sense to me.
Sorry for the misunderstanding of the previous post, the LED should not be on when the stirrer is not, I simply wired it incorrectly and then it made sense to me what.

On this note,don't know if you sorted already.check the voltage allowance on the led strip.that looks like 12v volt and should run with your fan at 12v without anything else.and if its wired via the dimmer it should still work just less bright if you turn it down.note that some of those leds don't run on less than 6v. So I would void the dimmer and the light switch straight to switch and power source

As mentioned I needed some stronger magnets to drive my stirrer. Got four scary strong ones from Mantech and Q-bonded them to what is left of the original fan hub.


This now drives my flea in cold 60/40 juice without a problem at all three speeds.


The juice in the pic is my Rum and Maple NET which was put on the stirrer un-stirred or shaken. Took less than a minute to mix up so no layers were visible anymore.

Now I need a larger flea for larger mixes. So nice not to have to shake manually any longer.

Whats the size of the stirrer ?

 

[Raindance]

Whats the size of the stirrer ?

The casing is made of waste pipe fittings, the type you find underground and your toilet is connected to. Embarrassingly I do not know the size by hart. Estimate 150 to 160 mm. The motor is a 50W fan motor.

What is this flea you're referring to now @Raindance?
