Painters Bucket - Paint Tube Holder for Artists

thingiverse

I tend to do my acrylic painting outdoors and been using a small galvanized pail for storing/toting all my supplies. I wanted the tubes easy to find what color I'm looking for, not come loose in transit from place to place. So I made this holder that fits over the lip of 5.5qt metal pail that I use. Tubes snap on and off the holder, keeping their color label facing the center to keep it easy to find. Specifically made to fit the Golden Artist Colors brand of paints (2oz tubes), may fit other brands too if they have a neck around their caps that is ~17mm in diameter. Attached is a photo of the label of the brand and size of the bucket it is intended for as it's an exact fit. Got my bucket from the local Tractor Supply Company for a few dollars.
