The 3D printer as a shop tool.

[Psychmike22]

Hello Everyone,
I am starting to learn about 3d modeling and have come up with a jig to solve a shop problem. I am now using Magic Juice from Stadium Pen Blanks. I love the product by the way. It has really improved my finishing of plastics. My garage shop is not heated and I have been shaking the heck out of the little 1oz bottles. That gave me the idea to make a little magnetic holder to keep the bottles inverted. As soon as I figure out how, I will post the file into the library.

Use masking tape to tape a rare earth magnet (Harbor Freight) to the side and put it on anything that is metal and vertical. I do this and have pencils stuck to all my power tools.

I love this kind of personalized ingenuity. I was (also) shivering in the garage last night, waiting impatiently for cold CA glue to make its way down to the bottle spout. I should have done something like you and kept the bottle inverted. Hmmmmmmm… I got to think about this. Thanks for sharing and the idear!

That is an elegant solution as well. Thanks.

My shop is not heated either. During the winter I keep all my adhesives and casting resin inside the house in a small tub in a closet. For CA finishes in winter I use a heat gun on low when applying on the lathe. Gluing tubes, etc I do inside.
