The file 'Mechanical Hand Mixer – Fully Printed & Cordless 3D Printer Model' is (STL) file type, size is 5.8MB.
When you find yourself in a tough situation (without forks to mix with) this should do the trick! Just plan ahead a little and print one of these before breakfast and you'll feel more accomplished while eating that omelet!
Material for this costs less than about a dozen eggs now-days... You can find out how well it works too by downloading all the parts to print the model yourself!
Everything on it is printed, just pick some colors that suit your style. I previously read online somewhere that PLA material is "Generally Considered Food-Safe" so that's good enough for me. If you're worried about contamination or cleaning, just throw the beater ends away and print new ones every time. Change them daily if you want, to whatever suits your mood for that day! Although, PLA probably doesn't like hot water or the dishwasher…
Right Handed or Left Handed, it doesn't matter, this mixer is ambidextrous. Print multiples and keep a couple on-hand, put one in the camper, the guest house, or keep one at work. The gear mechanism is pretty cool, lots of future possibilities for this frame. Don't know what I'll do or if it will be upload worthy, you'll just have to wait and see what comes of it.
Build Notes
Quantities for all parts are (1) each except for the small gear which is the only Qty (2). I used Silk PLA for the bushings, gears and beater ends. The rest of the parts I printed as regular PLA, but choose the materials you want, I just use what's best for me and have on hand.
