Custom reservoir for ink different ink bottles

[BrownGrizzly]

Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you my little project. I decided to make for every ink bottle I have an ink reservoir. To make it happen I made 3d model and printed reservoir for Diamine 80ml, Pilot 30 ml, and Pelikan 4001 70ml bottles. Examples you can see in the photo. I'll leave here the models for mentioned bottles, but it is possible to sail the size of the model for the exact ink bottle. Also, I can scale it for exact height and diameter.

It is my firs topic, so I am intersted in your opinion

That is awesome! I'm not sure why it never occurred to me that this could be done.

 

It should be fairly easy to edit the STL files to customize for different bottle dimensions, right?

 

Thanks!

your welkome!  I used fusion 360 as you can use it free. And to change the form, you need to click modify -> scale ->chose non uniform scale type (so you can change every dimension separately).
