At home, I had a lot of paintbrushes all over the place and nowhere to store them.I also use the Humbrol and Vallejo acrylic dropper bottles but always needed something to squirt them on to use.Whilst I was designing this I thought it would be good to also include a universal paint holder that will contain your paint tins, jars, bottles, etc. The idea of this is to reduce the chance of accidentally knocking paint (tins, jars, bottles, etc.) over when open.
This is a fully stackable design and you can have multiple brushes and mixing trays stacked on top of each other, therefore storing neatly when not in use.I have also included a lid that is best printed inverted so it gets the build plate pattern embedded on it.The design is 200mm long by 100mm wide. Brushes up to 190mm can be stored inside (can be scaled up for larger items within a slicer). To print this item you will need a print bed bigger than the object size.
The examples in the pictures were printed on a Bambu Labs A1 FDM Printer using a 0.4mm nozzle and a 0.2mm layer height.

I recommend 3DLAC Spray to help secure the print to the print bed whilst printing, it also helps release the print after printing has finished.https://amzn.to/4cxPybm (Amazon)
