It worked well for a long while. Looking for the STL link I seen one that could shake 4 at a time.

Wal-Mart has a Jigsaw online for $22.88, with free shipping to their stores. I picked mine up at an Estate Sale, for $10, used. I use Blue Painters Tape ($3.42 @ Wal-Mart), wrapped around the bottle, and the blade, to secure the bottle: no deforming the bottle, no stress on the bottle at all. It works superbly. I can use the same long piece of painters tape, for 12+ bottles of paint shaking. So the Jigsaw method will cost around $25 (new, including tape roll -- will last for several years...), versus $120 for the Vortex Mixer, or roughly 1/5 the cost, and no nerve damage to your hand. The Jigsaw method is the best, lease expensive method, bar none. If the blade bothers you, take a file or grinder to it, and remove its teeth. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing! I like the painter's tape idea. In reality for planned paint sessions I'll pre mix using the 3d printed device and jig saw, then just before using give it a quick hit with the vortex mixer. Vortex mixer is safe for short bursts just not for long extended sessions.

How about an orbital sander or just a plane vibrating sander, just slap a polishing sponge on the plate or maybe a 3D printed holder for multiple botles and you could mix multiple botles at the same time.

Seems like a fun idea. I have a battery powered one that would work good. I seen a couple other on thingiverse that you could hook up to a drill that transferred to a shaking table.

There are a lot of vortext style mixers for less than $50 that work amazing. You are not using them for their intended medical use, and there for do not need the expensive one. A simple amazon search will yield some very afforable results. That jig-saw blade contraption is pretty cool, but it should have had the teeth filed completely off. That is a serious hazard!

Thanks for the reply! Another reason we switched to the vortex mixer, I didn't want the kids using it.

We've been streaming more lately. Couple times this past week and a few the week before. We plan on at least once a week going forward.
