Making a Micro set and sol holder. 3d printing for the modeler



On the Grumpy Old modeler  face book yesterday. Dave Chow posted about making a 3d print. The print created was to keep a modeler from spilling over his Micro Set or Sol.   Let face it we all have done that.   These decal solutions are not getting any cheaper.  I for one would like to be able to get through a complete bottle of the stuff.  The run time was 2 hour 35 minutes.  The end result was that bad.

The tubes on the side are for holding your brushes.
