Hobby strainer mesh

thingiverse

Rotate 180º and supports won't be necessary. Eventually, reorientation will occur, I apologize. I didn't want to purchase packs of sand for ridiculous amounts when it's just that - sand or gravel. So, I created a strainer with mesh-like structures, allowing you to pan certain materials through and produce fine sand, gravel, and larger pebbles. To achieve this at a low cost: 1. Get the cheapest wall filler available. I use Aguaplast, often used to fill cracks and voids in walls. It's like a paste that hardens over time. 2. Obtain a surface to apply it on and spread a relatively thin coat. Allow it to dry for a day or two (depending on your location; just ensure it's fully dry before painting, as moisture can ruin the paint job once it starts to dry). 3. Once dry, use a screwdriver or hands to break it apart into small pieces. 4. If needed, get a cheap container and use it as a mortar to grind it down further. 5. Use different meshes to separate materials by size. 6. Place them in containers - the small ones visible in photographs are available on my profile. It's customizable so you can create your own designs. 7. Optionally, label them using 32mm bases with PVA glue and the different types glued onto the cap, eliminating boring tags. In the future, I'll develop an attachment for this setup: a funnel that connects to a PCO1881 (a Coke bottle type of cap) to use the cap of PVA glue bottles for better pouring. For now, if you find this helpful and worth it, feel free to use the tip button on the left so I can buy a coffee!
