This is a base plate for super glue containers from the German brand Top2Glue. I regularly forget to clean the spout before putting the cap on, which sooner or later always forces me to unscrew the cap and use a toothpick to apply glue. This comes with the risk of tipping over the bottle which has devastating consequences. The Idea and motivation is of course applicable to other brands, but the measurements in my design correspond to Top2Glue ( red, green, yellow and black .)

Variations

My initial concept for this design was just a simple base plate that increases the footprint and thus reduces the risk of tipping. As an afterthought I added a second version with screw holes. That might be helpful when you have a dedicated model building area.

Print Instructions

I printed mine in PLA, but PETG, ASA or exotic materials will work fine as well. Increase the Infill amount a bit from what you would normally use, to assure a clean surface at the shallow angle.

The *.stl file for the screw-on version contains modifier geometry, that can be separated in PrusaSlicer using the “Split to Parts” command. Right-click select each body, set it's type to “Modifier” and then add an override for Infill with a value of 100%. For a model like this, it may be a bit of an overkill, but I liked the idea of having all solid layers below a fixture point. If you want to optimize for print time, sets the bottom layer count to zero.

Customization
