No Spill Cutting Oil Can / Adapter

thingiverse

I modified the Funnel to include notches at the bottom that allow oil to pass if it bottoms out in a short container. I am grateful for the contributors over at hobby-machinist.com who weighed in on this project. If you are interested, check out the thread in the link below: https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/no-spill-container-adapter-for-cutting-oil.68329/#post-572694 An adapter to turn most any container into a no spill container was created for cutting oil and WD40 at the mill and lathe in my home shop. The adapter was designed to extend from 2" without extension to 3.5" fully extended to work with most any container. I used an 8oz food storage container, but you could use an old butter tub or tupperware you have lying around. My tests show that WD40 has not affected PLA and should hold up. If you experience something different, leave a comment or reach out. I have two adapters, one for WD40 made of aluminum and another for cutting oil made of brass and steel. You will find three separate files so you can print all in one color or multiple like I did. Have fun and hit me up with any comments. Please be careful cutting or modifying your container. Always cut away from yourself and take your time. Knives can slip when cutting plastic, make sure your valuables are not anywhere near.
