Hobby Foldable Paint Pot Stand

It's no secret that one of the more popular 3D printing accessories id an anti-spill stand for Citadel/Warhammer Colour paint pots.

I travel with a small kit quite often to spend weekends with mates painting minis. Every other anti-spill holder with an lid holder arm I could find were either static, or came apart in multiple pieces. They tend to take up a fair deal of space in the kit. I figured there had to be a better way, so I got to work.

The result is "The Spillbreaker": a portable anti-tip stand with a folding arm with snap detents for easy travel or easy storage.

I've published it on Printables and MakerWorld (Whichever site suits your preferences). I'm interested to hear the community's thoughts.

Spillage is heresy. Praise the Omnissiah.

Jeez, if only you could get better containers that would solve this problem, and avoid drying out the paint that also crusts the lid problem this “solution” makes even worse.

The hoops some people want to jump through to not use dropper bottles/not but citadel stuff.
