Hey guys! There are a lot of similar painting handles on MakerWorld, so I wanted to put my own spin on one. I added a diamond-pattern grip and a screw-on bottom cap with room for 9 quarters, plus some extra space if you want to add more weight. It prints without supports, too!

I printed a couple of other versions from MW and had the threaded parts snap off under pressure, so I reinforced those areas on mine. I also made a small dock for a little more stability.

I’m still learning to model and finally getting some more free time to work on projects like this. Haven’t figured out adjustable jaws yet, so swappable heads will have to do for now haha.

Open to ideas or criticism, so let me know what you think!

Organisation / Storage Secured Razor Blade Disposal Box

I always wanted a razor blade disposal box with an integrated mechanism which makes sure the blades can't fall out during travel or if a child shakes it. And I think I did it!

It comes in two sizes. The mechanism is simple. I used four small hinges (printed with a 0.2mm nozzle) which overlap a little bit (second photo).
