3D Print Your Own Centrifuges With a 3D Printing Pen

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Maker Techmeology used a 3D printing pen to make a 3D printed centrifuge. Aside from the 3D printing, other parts used in the pen were completely recycled, with the motor being taken from a used appliance. Once completely assembled (for basically around a dollar), you’ll want to test the centrifuge and measure it for acceleration. While centrifuges can be used for any number of things, this one was originally created for spinning sample test tubes.

And this is safe and useful ? Let's be serious. I woudn't look at it differently if it was made of chewinggum.

Spot on. I can deal with prototypes being a bit rough around the edges but this is just silly.

lol cheap home dna kits available now !

Yeah having used a few centrifuges in my time - you want absolute balance and weight duplication.
