Orbital Shaker

Wasn't a fan of other orbital shaker designs I found, so I created this to simplify and customize some features.
Rather than overly complicated Arduino designs, I centered this around a standard stepper drive motor/controller combo connected to a Nema 17 stepper motor.

Features:

• Top plate can be removed to customize and swap out attachments.
• Adjustable Speed, direction, and shaking patterns.
• Customizable adapters:
  • 50mL Falcon Tube Shaker (45 degree angle)
  • Tube Shaker (45 degree angle)
  • Various sizes of Erylenmeyer Flask Holders

Here are all the additional components needed:

• Stepper Motor Driver + Controller: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1HNS9L2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
• Nema 17 Stepper Motor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PNEQI7W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
• 12V Power Supply + Female Connector: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BD4W6FX8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
• 7x Standard Bearing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PKD8QZZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
• Assembled with 3/8" bolts / nuts

Total Cost ~$70.

Print 3 pivots, one drive pivot, and 4 feet. All other items, print 1x.

Outer surfaces of bearings can be superglued into their seats to keep them in place. For the bearings in the linkage plate, I instead used silicone sealant to prevent buzzing and excess vibration.

I also filled a ziplock bag with sand and placed it inside the case to increase the weight of the base, which helps keep it from walking around the table.
