I got this idea when browsing for computer parts one day. It is literally the easiest project I recall completing.
I used this fan from Amazon and a small electrical box I had laying around. I drilled 5 holes in the box and attached the fan and magnets and voila! Still have to clean up the glue, but it works like a charm with a built in potentiometer.

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe

Re: Easy Stir Plate
Where did you get the potentiometer? My stir plate uses a muffin fan and could really use something to dampen it better than the dimmer plug I use.

Re: Easy Stir Plate
It's all part of the fan I ordered. You unscrew the cages and it all comes apart. I simply drilled a hole in the electrical box to fit the wire through and gorilla glued the knob assembly to the box

Re: Easy Stir Plate

This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
