Make a Handheld Portable Mixer

Forget the clunky, bulky, and unreliable mixers, this is the perfect, inexpensive option to solve all of your mixer nightmares. A simple but effective solution to an everyday problem.

• DC motor
• Pre-drilled popsicle sticks
• Popsicle sticks
• Switch
• 9v battery snap connector
• 9v battery
• Wheel (This part came in a kit, so I linked the kit here, though you may be able to find a substitute)
• 3D printing filament
• Hot glue gun
• Duct tape

First, get a pair of scissors and scrape away at the center hole of the pre-drilled popsicle stick until it fits snuggly onto the motor as shown above. Then proceed to glue them together. I used hot glue, though super glue would probably work better. Then, cut off the alligator clips, and strip about 1/2 of an inch of of the wires to get a result as shown above. cut the access parts of the popsicle stick on either side of the motor.

Then cut four 1 inch pieces of popsicle stick as shown above. Glue them onto the motor as illustrated above. were to glue them is pretty hard to explain, so I suggest you look at the second image to determine their placement. Glue on a popsicle stick to act as the handle, and then wrap in in duct tape to create a comfortable grip.

Then proceed to glue on the switch, and attach the red wire from the motor to one of the terminals on the switch (it doesn't matter which one). Then glue on the 9v battery snap connector as shown above, making sure it's red wire is connected to the other terminal on the switch, and it's black wire is connected to the black wire of the motor. attach the 9v battery, flip the switch, and watch the motor spin! Were not done yet, though!

Using the yellow wheel, weave 3D printing filament through it to create an attachment. Melt the ends onto the wheel to prevent the filament from slipping.

Attach the attachment to the motor, and have a great time using your very own DIY kitchen appliance!
