Portable Paint Station

thingiverse

I reside in a compact apartment, thus all my activities necessitate reduction and storage. Following a recent return to miniatures, I required an efficient method to consolidate my paint and supplies while ensuring easy access. The front serves as a workspace for cutting and painting. The middle compartment houses storage areas that open like shutters. The back accommodates a filter and fan housing, generating negative pressure during spraying with two 120mm fans.

This material also serves as the self-healing mat border since it matches the thickness of the mat: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/cutler-group-standard-hardboard-panel-1-8-inches-x-2-feet-x-2-feet/1000434563 Thicker 1/4" birch ply is utilized for all other components: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/cutler-group-1-4-inch-x-2-feet-x-4-feet-birch-plywood-handy-panel/1000114111 The self-healing mat can be found at https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0027RL0SA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
