Stackable paintbrush clean/rinse container w lid
Print Profile(1)

Description
Good for cleaning/rinsing oil-based paint or varnish in mineral turpentine solution off paint bushes. The original sized set is big enough for 60mm (and possibly up to 65mm) wide brushes. 110% one will be good for 65mm/70mm brushes.
I've followed the four-container method from the following video and I don't have the ‘yogurt containers' with lid. So designed this container model. Each original sized container cost less than 27g of PLA. Each original sized lid cost less than 11g of TPU.
The bottom of the container has been made somewhat thicker (than the side walls). Printing parameters have also been adjusted for ‘water-proofing’ mineral turpentine solution. If printing these with default PLA Basic parameters, mineral turpentine would seep through the porous PLA material at the bottom. One of the modified parameter is slight over-extrusion with 103% flow rate for PLA Basic. With such changed parameters, these PLA Basic containers hold mineral turpentine without any perceivable seeping.
I recommend printing the lids using default parameters for TPU. PLA would also work for the cap, however, sometimes they might be a bit too hard/tight to close and open. Moreover, TPU would provide better sealing against vapour leaking through any gap between the container & lid.
