Photon Ready Paint Bottle and Brush Holders

thingiverse

I'm a big fan of this remix I saw https://www.thingiverse.com/smrogers91/about 's nifty Paint bottle holder https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2711549 and really liked it. But when sliced my Anycubic Photon just was a bit too small for it to be printed neatly. I also wanted a brush holder that matched, so using it for inspiration I designed these. Clip version, the interlocking hook on the original bottle holder just didn't want to print out right without a lot of support and post-print cleaning. To get around this, I use a U-shaped clip to hold the holders together. Print 1 clip for every 2 holders - Files Paint_Bottle_Clip.stl, Paint_Brush_Clip.stl, and Clip.stl. If you have a larger printer, I've included Paint_bottle_set_clip, which has both holders in one file. If you have trouble getting the clip to fit, you might want to scale it down slightly; it was a really tight fit for me. Magnet version, I wasn't really happy with the amount of post-print cleaning I needed to do with the clip version so I went back and created a set that uses 8mm magnets to snap everything together. I removed a chunk of material from the paint bottle model - it saved about a dollar in resin, but the model requires supports now. Files are Paint_Bottle_magLow2.stl, Paint_Brush_mag2.stl, and Paint_Bottle_setmag2.stl. The Magnet set is pretty foolproof (this fool tested it lots); I got usable prints after running out of resin, forgetting to settle the model on the build plate, forgetting to turn on supports, and...forgetting to tighten the build plate all the way back down. They were ugly but the paint bottles still fit.
