The Perfect Mini-Painting Water Pot

thingiverse

My attempt at perfecting a waste-water pot for cleaning brushes while painting models. A pretty big improvement over a glass or tupperware of water, with some very useful features! 1) Two Chambers: rinsing your brushes in one chamber then cleaning any remaining paint in the second means your water lasts MUCH longer before needing a change. 2) Ridged Bottom: run your brushes across the ripples on the bottom of the container to dislodge paint quickly. 3) Easy clean surfaces: There are no convex angles inside to trap paint residue, making it easy to clean out paint gunk from the bottom of the tank. 4) Attached Lid: A hinged, folding lid keeps the water tank covered when not in use, without taking up table space or getting lost. Embedded magnets keep it secure against intrusion by felines and toddlers. 5) Printing Features: rounded corners provide additional bed adhesion, so you can print this in PLA without the corners peeling up.
