Description
The Multi-function Diamond Painting Containers storage system contains 2 or 4 drawers, each of which holds 48 narrow plastic bottles that contain diamond dots, beads, or other small items. The challenge is that the bottles are easy to tip over with a mistaken brush of the hand. And, if your hand-eye coordination is a bit poor like mine, that can be very frustating.
This spacer can be inserted into the bottom of the storage drawer to give an evenly-spaced grid into which to insert the bottles. Each opening is lightly tapered to ease placement of the bottles.
The ZIP file with the source contains the Python code and a requirements.txt that is used to install the necessary libraries. To set up the Python, you may follow these steps as a starting guide.
| Note that the source file has the output filenames hardcoded, so you'll need to edit them accordingly toward the bottom of the Python code. |
