It always seems like the bottle of CA that I have on hand isn't the one I need for what I'm doing. I decided I needed a fun tray for holding my bottles of super glue in different consistencies.

I decided to design it around an ethyl cyanoacrylate molecular diagram. That left me with some extra space so I included additional organizational features.

  • A slot in the front sized to hold a few popsicle sticks
  • The oxygen atom at the 4 position will hold an acupuncture needle (for clearing clogs).
  • The other oxygen atom is a hole that can hold a sharpie, a small rolled up rag (pictured), or maybe some rolled up sandpaper.
  • The triple bond holds a utility knife.

Bottle holes are ellipses measuring 50mm x 30mm. I designed them specifically with 50g bottles of Hobby King CA in mind.

I included STLs for versions of the tray with and without label text.
