This is a holder for drying your paintbrushes. Currently holds my 3/4" brush which is roughly 11.5mm at its thickest point. Smallest brush is just under 5mm at its thickest point. If someone needs for a larger or smaller brush, post in comments I should be able to get one out quickly. You will need a hair tie or rubber band to keep the brushes in. I would suggest a hair tie if available as the rubber band can be a bit to grippy.

There are two versions currently of the base and holder, you will need one of each.

Base Versions -

1. Hole for m5 bolt to be threaded in. I prefer this method as you can put a longer bolt (I use m5x45mm) to allow you to keep as one piece when loading brushed.
2. Prints with a pin to have the holder sit on if you don't want to purchase an m5 bolt.

Holder Verions -

1. Has hole for m5 bolt or the base with 3d printed pin. This version allows sufficient rotation.
2. Has an inset hole for a m5 11x4mm bearing.

The holder can be printed with 10% infill. Suggest a higher infill for the base as the neck is kept thin. If this is an issue even with higher infill I can push up the neck thickness.

There are test prints if you want to check you scaling before spending all the time to print.
