DESCRIPTION
Adhesive Pot holder for 3 'Tamiya Extra Thin' Size bottles, to provide a convenient organiser & to prevent knocking the pots over while building.
The handle rotates and has tabs which hold the pots in place.
Version 3.0 is a Slimline Modern Style version of Adhesive Pot holder V2.0 here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4247925
DESIGN NOTES
I was never happy with the unused space of the original holder, so I decided to make a minimalist version.
Even though its basically the same overall size, it does take up a lot less room on the workbench.
I could imagine this CNC machined from Aluminium billet!
ASSEMBLY NOTES
Print out Parts A, B, and the Tabs Part from PLA, all at 0.2mm layer height, 10-20% infill for Parts A & B, 50% infill for the Tab part.
Fit the Tab part into the base Part A, ensuring that there aren't any artefacts (blobs) preventing the Tab part from fitting in flush with the top.
Press on the handle so that it clicks into place.
Keep the handle vertical as you press down (not leaning at an angle), it does require quite a bit of force.
Finally secure the Tabs to the base with 2 small screws.
For Screws I used M2 (2mm dia) x 4mm long Philips head screws, any small 2mm screw would work between 4-6mm long, or a small tapping screw.
The handle may be stiff initially, work the handle a few times & it will bed in & loosen up.
