PSX magnetic stirrer to mix alcohol

Idea was to hack the Playstation 1 components to make a magnetic stirrer and mix alcoholic beverages with it ! (Most likely Punch)
Unfortunately the motor used for the playstation 1 on the optical drive was not strong enough for rotation and i had to find external parts.
Overall i try to keep the original case and parts such as the power supply.

Some month ago i, and my hackerspace participated to an event/meet with some others hackerspaces/fablabs.
I took the PunchStation with me !

Hello,
So i received new magnets (less strong) and with a hard disk magnet on the middle.
Close view on the additional fan added:

Hello hackers,
So i started this project today and despite everything looking fine, my neodymium magnets are too strong for the motor !
I'm waiting to receive new batch of neodymium magnets from eBay !
The goal is to put everything in a PSX, the motor and the rest must be relatively small.
For that i got a Coprel motor: AC 230V, 50Hz, 17W, 0,17 Amp
For my speed control i'm using a KBMC-23BV, 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.5 Amp
Main unit:
The motor is attached with 3 cable ties.
For the PSX i've used my dremel to remove a bit of plastic and did my CAD file with solidWorks to put the neodymium magnets, here are some pictures of the design:
3D Printed:
But the plastic bend and magnets goes stuck on the motor due to the force.
I plan to add a 40x40mm fan for cooling the motor and find new magnets and revise my CAD design to the according new magnets (or maybe using bakelite instead of plastic, i have no idea).
Power supply pinning of the PSX for future reference:
To be continued.
