Description
Cleaner water for your miniatures and paintings!
Cleaning the brush quickly dirties the water and then continues to use it.
Instead, use 2 Pots!
Clean the brushes mostly in one of the pots, then use the 2nd for your fresh paint.

Version with only 1 water pot, you can find it here:

Printable with:
Watertight!
The model has been tested multiple times using PLA to ensure its water tightness.
While the inner part that holds the water is thicker, the outer part of the cup is thinner and in between an empty space to save material cost and make the print not be too heavy while staying watertight.
Print Profile
The print profile uses 100% infill and a “Concentric” infill pattern and many wall loops to ensure the most amount of sealed layers to contain the water safely. Also to ensure a successful print the insides bottom is designed to work well with inner brims to stick well to the print plate. I printed multiple versions of this model and came up with this print profile in the end.
Lasts long
This is a sturdy print, it is not designed to just about be watertight, it is a bit thicker to be sure to be watertight, therefore this print should last you a long time and that is also why it is worth the material.
Material
I used PLA and it works fine, but if possible, using a stronger more long-life materials might be a better choice if you have one, even if it is just PLA+.
No tipping over!
The wider base makes the cup more stable and secure to prevent tipping over. Also, the weight of the print feels really nice and is not too heavy or too light and with its weight itself also makes the print more stable.
Brush holders
The 4 brush holders in the back are all angled towards the inside so that the water and paint from a brush wouldn't drip on your table but right down into the pot itself! Additionally, a brush can be laid on top of the pot sideways also in a way that it would drip into the water pot.
Remove the paint
To clean the brush of paint and water, there are multiple different patterns the brush can be dragged over.
At the bottom, the walls on the sides and on top halfway around.
The tip of the brush
To keep the tip of the brush pointy and smooth, drag it upwards along one of the 3 lanes in each water pot on the inside.
