Summary
This is the first item i’ve made.
The first version was before I got calipers so it is about 2mm smaller than the tin. So, there is a small amount of wiggle room. The area for the paints is small but that was intentional. The tray is shorter than tin to allow for a sponge to sit on top. I also purchased small plastic fish to hold water in the tin for travel. The fish are meant ot hold a single serving of soy sauce and are on Amazon.
The second tin I made has deeper areas for paint. It has higher side walls. I thought that would help hold in moisture and prevent the tin from rusting. I’ve seen people also paint the inside with enamel to use the lid as a mixing area and to preserve the metals. I have not yet printed this version as I’m having problems printing as I am a bumbling novice. I noticed the paint wells are not perfectly spaced but I’ll have to watch more YouTube videos to figure out how to move and space objects.
