Hello all, Zach from Baphominiatures here. I recently received a huge donation of Citadel paints from a good friend of mine. Like many painters, I like the paints but am not a fan of the bottles and much prefer the dropper bottles more commonly used.

So I spent a few hours and made a free .STL file that you can print with any 3D printer that will support something this small.

Its ugly and crude looking, but works great.

If you absolutely can not find a way to print these on your own, I do have them for sale on my webpage. But ask around and hopefully one of your gaming buddies has a printer!

All of the links and info are compiled and organized here:

You can download it for free here:

Or from Dropbox

Make sure to print 28mm x 13.29 x 44.03 and it will fit just snug enough to keep it in place. I use a Form 2 at the fastest speed and they come out fine, using 1.53ml of resin (supports not included). I also recommend you varnish them first to help remove paint in between uses, but it works fine either way!

If you need bottle recommendations, these are the kind I use:

Awesome!

Oh thats cool.

Absolutely brilliant idea, very impressive

Huh... what an idea ... that's great.

Don’t want to resurrect a dead thread but really need some of these widgets. Is there anyone in Australia that can print these for me. Please PM.

Hey, great idea really useful for me, most of my paint gets wasted spilling out of the container, thank you.
