This is brilliant! Simple and intuitive, makes the dressed up $150+ resin washers envy such simplicity! Well done
Thanks!
I took a red vines tub, two tiny vibrating motors from an old gaming chair I used to own and taped them to the sides of the red vines tub. Best wash station I've ever had and I have 4 paid for wash stations.
I also built my own curing station too.
Absolutely love it. I would build this but i just bought mine 30 days ago.
Great idea have some Parts flying around from my fpv Drones 👍🏽
coooool~simple & useful
Hello, I'm new with this kind of thing. Can you share the connection diagram? I intended to use 12v 60a power supply for this. Thank you!
Do the magnets rust eventually while inside the alcohol? Also, why not just use a stirring plate?
Great build! Can you include details of which magnet you used and also where you bought the containers?
Id love to replicate it!
The magnets are 12x3mm, I use 8 for the motor and 4 for the impeller. The container is a replacement for the Anycubic wash and cure plus, they sell it separately
A BOM and plans would be nice.
This looks so good :) Do you get any wear on the bottom of the tank from the impeller?
Not really, the impeller has a small screw in the center to keep it ever so slightly elevated, so it is in contact just in the middle and on the very edges when it wobbles
Hi!
Do you have a link for the buildplate mount?
Great idea...I think you should relink to the hardware and do a "assembly" video, or wirring video :)
hello, what size of magnets did you use? Thank you
Does the impeller shave off the bottom of the tub?
congrats for sharing. In the part of the "ESC" can be 40A? 👍
Yes
Nice video, this is something I want to try. But it looks like there are some extra parts in your setup that are not mentioned. And are the 3D printed parts specific to the components your using?
The 3d printed motor magnet holder and the impeller should work with most drone motors. What I didn't go in depth too much is the platform which holds the motor and the container, which can be made in many ways
@@andreabotti99 Thanks, since your using an rc motor and esc. Does this unit run off of lipo's or is it AC?
@@corksauve4949 It's 12V DC. I use a 12V power supply but a 3s LiPo works perfectly
Link to esc please
Is your interrupter (switch) connected to the 12V adapter and ESC hot (positive).
The switch is on the negative wire, between the 12V power supply and the ESC input. It's there just so the esc isn't on all the time
I think I'll try a washing machine motor, that should do it.
I was thinking about using a power drill to spin it with a magnet
As long as it doesn't go too fast it could work
What power supply do you use? I'm having a hard time finding one that provides enough current
I'm using a 360w 12V power supply which was in an old 3D printer. You can buy them now for 25-30€
@@andreabotti99 Thanks!
Thanks for the video! I’m gonna try and. Make one for myself using your concept 👍🏻✨🧰🛠️
Can you please explain in more detail the power supply you're using (this is definitely preferable over lipos for this purpose) maybe upload a screenshot of your setup somewhere adding a link to your description for viewing? This would be very helpful.
Assumptions from how it works section:
- You have a power supply rated to provide 12v 60a
- The DC plug adapter (green and black plug) has the positive and negative wires from the xt60 (male/female pair) going into it.
- The xt60 is then plugged into the ESC (which has the esc positive and negative going into it)
- From the power supply, you have L N G wires screwed down from a power cable that is subsequently plugged into a wall .
- Then you have another 2 wires, positive and negative, coming from the power supply that goes into the other half of the DC plug adapter (male/female pair)
- This then powers everything
Is that about right?
You got it mostly right. My wiring looks messy but it's fairly simple, the power supply is connected to the esc via the yellow xt60 connector as if it were a lipo, except the positive wire goes to a switch first, so that I can turn off the machine since my esc doesn't have an integrated switch. The black and green connector comes before the switch and is where the power comes out from the power supply. Neither the xt60 or the black and green connectors are necessary, they are just there so I can disconnect everything if I want. Then the servo tester replaces the RC receiver you would normally use with an esc
@@andreabotti99 Thanks for your response, will try to give this setup another go.
Do you have a parts list and schematic for this? It looks incredible but I'm not really sure what i'm doing with electronics unless i can follow a diagram. Maybe i should just buy one, but this is better than anything on the market. I would buy it if someone sold it!
Perhaps my wiring looks a bit messy but it's actually really simple. The ESC is the device which controls the speed of the motor. It has a 12V input and an output for the motor. It also has three wires which nornally go to a receiver for remote control cars, but which can be connected to a servo tester to control the speed manually. I hope this helps, let me know
@@andreabotti99really interested in this aswell but yeah a schematic would be helpful as those parts are rather new to me, the servo tester and the ESC i have no clue what they are or what they do haha
are they necessary?
i mean i have the knowledge on basic electronics but i used different parts for adjusting wattage output usually
@@TMProjection If I had known this video would become popular I would have done it a bit better. The ESC is required because I'm using a brushless motor, which is not a DC motor, you can't just supply a voltage to it. The servo tester is used to send a PWM signal to the ESC which tells it how fast to spin the motor. It basically simulates the input which would otherwise be provided by a RC receiver
can you please explain how i bypass the transmitter req to hook this up
The servo tester sends a pwm signal, just like the receiver would
What is in the middle of your impeller?
It's a small screw which protrudes slightly underneath. This way the impeller has a small point of contact and rotates with less friction
Did You use two 12x3 magnets per slot on motor side? 8 on motor side and 4 on impaller?
Exactly
@@andreabotti99 ohh, so maybe thats the problem on my side, because I used only 4 magnets on motor side, and 8 in Total vs Your 12 in Total.
@@smokehead5318 The more magnets the better load the machine can take before losing sync. I initially only used 4 on the motor and 4 on the impeller and it worked, but when I doubled up on the motor side the performance improvement significantly
@@andreabotti99 ok, but my stirrer piece with 4 magnets still jumping instead of spinning, hmm, Idk why.
@@smokehead5318 Make sure the motor magnets are as close as possible to the impeller, try with a small amount of liquid and also make the motor spin as slowly as possible
hi, how about the +/- side of the magnet impeller?
my impeller not spin @@
What is the specs of your power supply? How many amps does it output? I had a 12V 1.5A power supply laying around but it wasn't enough.
I'm using a 30A power supply because I already had it but it's definitely way more than this machine needs. Unfortunately I don't have a precise power figure but 1.5A is definitely too little. It really depends on the motor you're using and how much liquid you want to stir
Thanks for a quick reply,@@andreabotti99 . Maybe I can use 12V 100W LED Driver. I'll try some different things - Thank you.
any idea how much amps this motor can handle?@@andreabotti99
Not sure if you’re still watching this thread. I got all the pieces for this and I’m having issues with my servo testers only working in a very narrow range. I ordered a few of them off of Amazon, they were like 8 bucks and I’ve seen where folks say some of them don’t work. What seems to happen on mine is it will start to spin, but if I turn it even a little bit it will stop and essentially restart the whole servo. I’ve watched tons of videos with people using servos, and I’ve never seen anyone have that issue. So that leads me to believe my servos are crap and I should just look for a higher quality one. Any advice on that would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I used very cheap servo testers for this project and I haven't encountered this issue. Keep in mind that a low kv motor is required for this application because even at minimum speed, brushless motors spin quite fast, perhaps this is your issue. Just for reference, I'm using 880kv motors at 12v.
Lastly, servo testers have different modes, the knob either controls a range left to right, or it can center the servo only (which for motors means being stuck at 50% throttle), maybe that's your problem.
Hope this helps
@@andreabotti99 I think it's centering the servo only, but I have no idea how I set that mode up. Is there a way to change that mode on the tester? All I have are the Manual, Neutral and the Auto feature. Thanks for the help!
@@chadhamlet Mine has a button that cycles through the 3 modes and a led indicating which mode is active. I'm not sure if we have the same version so unfortunately I can't tell you much else
@@andreabotti99 I think I have it figured out. I ended up using an older brushed motor and esc I had and the servo works perfectly fine. Maybe there is something wrong with the new brushless esc or motor I bought. Doesn’t matter though, I got it to work. Your suggestions made me think of getting my older stuff. Works great. Now I have to build brackets and a case for it.
How is the part attached to the motor
The motor I'm using is designed for drones, so it has a 5mm threaded shaft where you would normally mount propellers. The plastic part which holds the magnets is fitted onto the shaft and is kept in place with an M5 nut as if it were a prop.
Hi! Any possibility to release the stl for this? Thanks!

I've just uploaded the files so the link may not work yet. Check back in a few hours if that's the case
@@andreabotti99 Grazie mille!
me lo vendi? :)
How is your fan attached to the ESC?
Double sided tape on the bottom of the fan. Keep in mind the fan isn't really necessary, I installed it just as a precaution since I stir highly flamable alcohol and I wouldn't want anything to get even close to hot
@@andreabotti99 Thank you! Last question, where do you have it wired to for power? This is the first diy station that I've seen that I would like to replicate myself.
@@chadhoffine8325 There is a yellow XT60 connector at the back. The wiring may look complicated but it's just because I also added a power switch. I use it with a 3s LiPo battery or with a 12V power supply
@@andreabotti99 Thank you again! I didn't look too complex I was just unsure if there was anything I missed on the other side of the motor mount since we can only see the straight-on angle.
nice, can i use another motor ?
You can use many kinds of motors, just make sure the kv is low enough. Alternatively, the best way to do this would be to use a stepper motor
@@andreabotti99 nice, thanks
Hello, what are the magnets? Can You provide size and power please?
Hi, they're 12x3mm neodymium magnets. I'm not sure of the grade but they were very cheap
@@andreabotti99 thanks, so 13x3 is minimum? can I use 2mm or 1mm?
@@smokehead5318 I tried smaller magnets and they didn't work. When there's not enough magnetic force the motor loses sync with the impeller when there is too much liquid. I wouldn't go smaller than 12x3. However if you have 12x1 or 12x2 you can stack 2 or more magnets and get the same effect
This is awesome.
I can not find a box in this size. Would you have a link where I can find one like that.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. The container I bought is the one for the Anycubic Wash and Cure Plus machine. They sell the container separately
@@andreabotti99 Thanks for the Info 👍
hahahaahha FLY
magnet size?,thanks
12x3mm
@@andreabotti99 thank bro
This is very cool, however if you have nothing, youre looking at about £125 min
You're right, however, the most expensive item is the original anycubic container which is around 70€, most people would be fine with a smaller domestic one, for 10-20€. Also, the motor I used is way overpowered. I'm guessing a slightly smaller version of this would easily be around 60€. In my case I had everything except for the container, so it was convienent to build from scratch
it's washing machine haha
