UPDATED 17th April 2021 - some files re-oriented to lay flat
A spiral paint palette which turns on its centre pole. Make it as tall as you want.
You'll need to print one of the files marked 'well holders bottom'. the rest of the prints should be the 'mid' files.
Uses standard 40mm diameter milk bottle lids as removable and interchangeable paint wells. Based on milk bottles in the UK.
Various options to download:
double or single paint wells on each arm
various lengths of centre poles depending on how many arms you want to print. Other lengths can be scaled in you slicer if necessary
Large, or small bases. Alternatively, an attachment to fit the spiral on top of a can for height and stability
If you print the small base, you may need to weigh down the base for stability. A few coins does the trick.
If you print the can attachment, using an unopened can is preferable to add weight and stability.
I have also produced a handheld and turntable palette using milk bottle lids which can be found here:
