When painting and finishing woodworking projects, I'll often use scrap chunks of wood to support a painted face and clean it up afterwards. I finally got around to designing a small (3.5cm tall) pyramid or cone-like thing to do that job more reliably.

A few notable features stand out relative to other options you might find:

  • Three-point support for always stable positioning.
  • A single screw-down tab to hold them in place if you have a jig for heavy re-use
  • Stackable for more compact storage
  • Low weight for cheap printing (7grams) About 21cents CDN (15c US perhaps?)
  • Various holes for hanging on a peg or a string or other storage.
  • Chamfered edges for clean printing

Did a few test prints and have found them to clean up well, and stack very nicely.

Happy to receive feedback on how they worked for you!

The side-wall holes (besides reducing material) turn out to be nice for making them easier to handle with your fingers as well.

NB: Despite the visual similarity, the Spy vs Spy vibe is purely coincidental. :)

  

Notes:

Needs supports, just down to the build plate to manage the 3point contact, but they're small.
