Something To Do With Empty Tins

[renfield]

​

This isn't my design, I just ran across it on Thingiverse. 3-D printed organizer for 50g round tins. The design incorporates a recess in the bottom to glue in a magnet if you wish to keep the tray attached to the tin. I haven't printed one yet but will give it a try.

Pretty cool. When I am painting, I will mix my colors in empty tins and the lids help keep them fresh till I can use the color up. C&D and GLP tins work best for these.

Cool, but no 3-D printer in da house.

Pretty cool stuff!!

Hell of an idea if you have access to a 3D printer. I send my empties to the land fill site. New land for homes and parks is nice. In my town the old fill site added a new runway, building sites for hangers and related business and a couple hundred small craft parking spaces. Lot's of additional muni taxes also which keep my property taxes at only a slow increase.

I printed one off as a check. The model fits snugly into the Sutliff tin with no need for a magnet. The height of the insert is exactly the height of the tin.

Remember back when WhiteHorse Scotch came with little white horses attached to the bottles? What a beautiful Christmas tree .. with all those cute little ornaments.

This looks cool. I just use one as an ashtray.

 

[RookieGuy80]

Huh. I give the empty tins to my wife for craft projects. I keep one every now and then, I use them the way the men in my family's past used baby food jars in the garage, holding small items. And I use them to store used razor blades, which I donate to a neighbor for forging into art.

I like that design though. That'll make wonderful small first aid kits to stash around.

Could prove useful to the anglers in the crowd, hooks, weights etc.

This .

But aside from using them for target practice, I'll usually use my recent empty to knock my ash into when I smoke in my office. When it gets full, I toss it or dump the contents out the night before the trash goes out.

I think I’m going to print one. Will make a nice guitar pick and battery holder. Thanks for sharing.

I was thinking guitar picks as well.

I just let them pile up until I need the space back. Some have random things in that I'll probably lose or toss because of this. So it goes.
