Inverted Brush Holder for Painting

1/8/2026 - The insert compatible version has been added to this page as a new print profile. 

7/31/2025 - I've uploaded a new model that is more “universal” - it includes inserts to accommodate different diameter brushes. Give it a look, especially if you have brushes of different sizes - https://makerworld.com/en/models/1657406-universal-inverted-brush-holder-for-painting-v2#profileId-1753023

3/24/2025 - An updated version is available on this page. The new version has a smoother transition from the shaft to the brush holder which will result in a cleaner print and a more refined look. I also added a hole in the middle if you want to add a few brushes to store with the tips pointing up.

This is an updated version of my last inverted brush holder. This one does not need supports and makes inserting the brushes easier. 

I added a larger diameter tapered hole so the brush tips don't get stuck on the edges. 

Inverted brush holders like this are ideal for your brush's longevity as it allows moister to follow gravity down and away from the brush tip instead of ending up in the ferrule.

This can accommodate most brushes for mini and hobby painting. If you have larger brushes that don't fit in the holes, you could scale this up to help.
