Paint Mixer Stirrer no supports

I found a paint mixer that was 100mm in diameter but when I glued a dowel rod and tried to stir there was apparently too much torque and the dowel rod broke. I designed these smaller paint mixers from scratch to be smaller and hopefully have less torque and not break the dowel rod when mixing and to not require supports when 3D printing on a filament printer. I'm using Seal All glue to glue the 7mm (1/4 inch) dowel rod to the paint stirrer. Probably other glues like Goop glue will work also. I think the 60mm one is a good size. I think the 40mm one might be too small but I have included it anyway just in case it might help someone. Edit: I tried the 60mm paint stirrer (see photos). It seemed to work well. It wasn't as fast as I would have liked but it was good at not shooting paint everywhere so it did what it was supposed to do. As you can see from the photos, it stirred the paint sufficiently and I was able to paint my house with my airless sprayer as hoped. I pulled it up and down and all around in the paint can at different levels for about 5 minutes or so.
