Tip Resistant Paint Bottle Holder
I've a habit of leaving open bottle of paint in my booth while I'm spraying. Occasionally I catch a paint bottle with the tips of my fingers ad knocking it over when I reach for it, so I drew this up. It's fairly basic but so far has served well and even served it's function a couple of times now, preventing me from knocking over an open bottle of paint.
To be honest this thing is large. It's no where near as large as the initial design with 3 holders for different sized paint bottles. I ran out of resin printing that and had to tilt it at an angle just to get that one on the printer. This one will print well on my Anycubic Photon Mono 4K.
The opening for the paint bottle is 39mm in diameter. This is large enough to hold the 2oz Boston bottles I use to pre-thin paints from Tamiya and Mr. Hobby. It is large enough to hold almost every paint I use, while still being small enough that the smaller paints like Splash and Alclad still can't fall over.
There are 3 openings on the side for holding a brush or pipettes. The openings go all the way through. I line my spray booth with butchers paper, so I would rather get paint on the butchers paper than build up a mess of wet paint inside the stand where I can't clean it so the holes go all the way through.
Also there is a recess in the bottom to hold a small 15mm round magnet.
