Description

The Gorilla "Brush & Nozzle" super glue bottle is an innovative design but has one very major flaw. The base of the bottle is very narrow and the center of gravity is high so the slightest bump will knock it over, spilling super glue all over your work area. 

This is a base that snaps securely on to the bottle's ridges, widening the bottom and lowering the center of gravity. With the base attached it is far more stable and difficult to accidentally knock over.

I have uploaded two versions:

  1. Unweighted: Print with 100% infill
  2. Weighted: Contains a cavity to accommodate two ¼ oz wheel weights (34x20.5x5 mm). Must pause print at the topmost layer of the cavity and insert the weights. Slightly more stable and feels more robust. Not necessary, but nice. 

 

Bonus Tip: Adhesive wheel weights can be used to add weight to almost any print. Simply add an appropriately sized modifier box with 0% infill in your slicer, and program a pause to insert the weights. 

I have been really happy with the results on my prints. It adds a feeling of quality you can not achieve even with 100% infill, and is over 3x cheaper than filament by weight. A box with 11.25 lbs of these weights costs around $30, and will last a lifetime for most people. As a bonus they are ferromagnetic which can be useful.
