Description

I wanted a better brush cleaner than a sour cream container so I decided to design one.
My first version was a single water well but realized that I didn't really want two separate water wells one for dirty water and one for clean water so I made a merged one that has 2 wells attached by the brush holder ring.
I was going to put a grid in the bottom to let you clean the brush against but it would be way to hard to clean the settled paint out of it so I went with rings that are 2mm wide and 3mm apart, it works very well and is easy to clean with a bottle brush if needed.
I printed mine out of PETG so I could clean it with hot water without it softening.
If you use this for anything other than acrylic paints I suggest that you print it in a chemical resistant filament.
The clean water well is smaller than the dirty water well as once most of the paint is out of the brush the clean/rinse water doesn't get that dirty that fast.
There are two versions of the clean water well, I made one 1mm smaller around as one of my printers was printing it a little bigger than it should so that took care of that. (the ends of the half moon points were coming out a little too long.)
