Watercolor Palette Cups for Mint Tins
Description
Update 2016-04-10: Added A Double Wide, Double High Sponge Cup And New Default Arrangement For The Openscad File. This Openscad Program Will Generate Some Small Cups That Can Be Used To Hold Watercolor Paints. I Got The Idea From This Instructable: Http://Www.Instructables.Com/Id/Movable-Pallet-Altoid-Tin-Watercolor-Set/ The Author Shows "1/2-Pans" For Watercolors Mounted In An Altoid Tin With Magnets. Honestly, The Commercial Ones Are Probably Much Cheaper And Easier To Clean Than These Cups. But If You Only Need A Few To Hold Your Favorite Colors, These Might Be A Way To Go. I Also Included Code To Create A "Tool Tray" With Rounded Corners And An Extra Long Cup Example. Either Of These Could Be Used To Hold A Sawed-Off Paintbrush For A Tidy Little Paint Set. If You'D Like Some Other Sizes, You Can Hack The Basic_Cup_Size Or Xl_Cup_Size Arrays. The 14Mm Height Takes It To Just Below The Hinge Cutout. You Could Make Them A Little Shorter If You'D Like. The 19Mm X 15.25Mm Footprint Lets You Put Up To 16 Color Cups In A Single Tin With A Nice Snug Fit. You Could Also Make Other Sizes And If You Stick To Multiples Of 19Mm And 15.25Mm They Should Still Fit. Maybe A 38Mm X 30.5Mm Cup To Hold A Sponge? You Could Also Use These With Thing 753052 (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:753052) By Adjusting The Size To Something Like 20.0 X 16 X 10.0 Mm And Optionally Setting The Rounding Radius To 0 Like This: ``` Use <Mintyinserts.Scad> Import("Altoids_Tin_Watercolor_Palette.Stl"); Special_Cup_Size = [20.0, 16, 10.0]; Color("White") Translate([-12.5, -14, 3]) Rounded_Interior_Cup(Special_Cup_Size, Rr=0); ``` Thanks For Looking!
