Bottle Cap Paint Palette Holder

<p>Sometimes I can be frugal. Using water bottle caps in my hobby is one of those times. I sometimes use a water bottle cap for my palette, and I prefer that it be at an angle so that the paint pools to one side. However, after only a dab or two of my brush, the cap inevitability will slip and fall down flat—absolutely ruining my day. Thus, I invented this. It is designed primarily for the water and soda bottle cap sizes common in the USA, which are 30mm +-1mm. I made this big enough to handle large gallon-sized milk carton caps as well. But slow down there friend; those contrast paints are the most expensive ones in the universe.</p> <p>You can upgrade these to add mass, but it will cost you $0.05 (<em>the hole in the base has room for five US pennies</em>).</p> <p>Glue the two pieces together; I used CA glue.</p> <p>I use poster tack to keep the cap on the base.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>Added decorate lids for the heck of it.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK2.5</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Doesn't Matter</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Printed in an hour for me.</p> </p></p></p> Category: Art Tools
