Craft paint adapter for Fisher Genie Vortex 2 mixer

thingiverse

I recently acquired a pre-owned vortex mixer from eBay to mix my paints, and while the included adapter worked flawlessly with my 1/2 oz dropper bottle paints from Reaper, Army Painter, and Vallejo, it failed miserably with my extensive craft paint collection in 2 oz bottles. No matter how diligently I tried, I was unable to coax a vortex into forming within the larger craft bottles by clinging to the too small holder. So I rapidly designed this adapter in Fusion 360. This design consists of two distinct components: an adapter base and a craft-paint-sized cup. Print each component flatly, then attach them together with glue. There are three keyholes intended for utilizing short pieces of filament to align the parts and provide additional stability while gluing. You can also print only the adapter base and affix a piece of mousepad to it, creating a flat plate that can accommodate bottles of various sizes. I may consider adding further sizes if my requirements evolve in the future.
