Spray Can-Shaker / Mixer “Pringles-Edition”

What's better than tossing your old empty Pringles-Can in the trash?

I can tell you!

Building a oscillating Hyper-Speed spinning Spray-Can Shaker / Mixer out of it.

Most manufacturers indicate a “shaking” time of 1-2 minutes on their spray cans.

Trust me, that's not even close to enough to achieve the best possible paint quality.

Even after 5 minutes of shaking you still have blobs and irregularities in the spray.

This is where the Pringles Can-Shaker comes into play!

Almost every can shaker on the internet uses more than 100 grams of filament.

This Bad-Boy here is made of a recycled Pringles-Can and uses not even 40 grams of filament.

Every maker deserves the best possible paint quality!

Just place the spray can in the shaker and let it spin for 20 to 30 seconds.

This is more than enough for normal paints.

You will hear the metal ball in the spray can spinning like crazy.

That's exactly what we want and need.

For car filler I recommend 2 passes of 20 to 30 seconds each.

You can use any drill with a chuck as long as it spins quickly.

I think the 12 volt and 18 volt drills or wired drills will work best.

Others with 3.5 volts will be too slow.

Parts you will need:

Screws:

4x M4 x 16mm or longer (any type of screw-head will work)

1x M5 x 40mm or longer (any type of screw-head will work)

Nuts:

4x M4 (self-locking would be perfect but not necessary)

1x M5 (self-locking would be perfect but not necessary)

Washers: (not needed) but just in case you want some

4x M4 (per part)

1x M5 (per part)

Step by Step building instructions:

Now you're done assembling and you can start hyper speed shaking your spray cans properly.

For even higher rotation speeds and to prevent the spray cans from slipping,

simply insert 2 paper towels into the Pringles-Can.

Would love to see your Makes :-)
