Customizable Pipette Holder

thingiverse

This is a pipette holder that I designed specifically to hold 10 10 ml pipettes securely in place. The bottom features slots that allow any excess moisture to drain out, while also facilitating airflow that ensures the pipettes dry quickly. I've included the Fusion 360 file so you can easily import an STL file and create your own unique logo or image on top of it. The picture shows a pipette holder with my team's insignia, but the provided STL file is completely blank for you to customize. This design allows for printing without any need for supports. To assemble the pipette holder, simply print the main body along with the four feet, and then attach them using 3M adhesive or another suitable bonding agent. If you're working with ABS plastic, you can enhance the bond between the feet and the base by applying a thin layer of acetone to both areas. I prefer to create custom logo STL files by tracing the desired image in Inkscape, exporting it as an STL file, and then importing it into my modeling software. To save time, I often select a font that closely matches the original logo's typography and convert it to paths for easy editing.
