![]() First one failed horribly, the magnetic stirring bar wore through the bottom of the reactor a lot faster than I thought it would (I knew it would, just thought it would last longer)
Version 2.0 now has a brushless led fan (so I can see when its on), a larger stirring bar, and a thin glass plate glued to the bottom to prevent it from drilling a hole through the bottom. ![]() By turning the speed up I can agitate it from top to bottom, in the pic its running at half speed so fan speed is not an issue. Version 3.0 will have a variable speed motor with speed controller and hopefully be made from a new style vertex reactor

![]() I ordered some stir bars off eBay too. Still waiting for them. Going to use a glass jar if I can find s good way to seal the lid or an o ring. Other wise plastic ones work but you need glass or something on the bottom so the stirrer doesn't wear though the bottom of the plastic
