Description

Designs of a verified custom labware - an open sourced lab equipement - Sample Rotator mixer that can be 3D printed and assembled by following simple steps.

This is the version 2 of this equipment that requires a 12V external supply (charger). This still mixes laboratory samples at any angle as per the user requirement and has an additional functionality of working as a shaker or any other customizable laboratory mixer that a user can modify by just writing a unique code on the on-board Arduino chip.

This equipment is costlier compared to Version 1 but saves significantly more money in return as it also serves as a laboratory shaker.
