From Hackteria

Fast spinning hard drives in a solid aluminium housing are perfect for making small DIY centrifuges...

DIY

Bengt's 7200 rpm IBM Deskstar with lasercut holder for 2 x 1.5ml Eppendorf tubes and 2 x 200 ul Eppendorf PCR tubes.
Needs tape to hold tubes down and preferably a box around it to avoid getting hit by flying tubes...

First GaudiLabs version of a hard drive centrifuge based on 3D printed tube holder. 3D printing is not precise enough for high speed applications...

Second try using laser cut acrylic parts. Now upgraded with a nice LCD display.
Ordered a appropriate driver: Electronic motor control for hopyy cars...
