Custom Needle Holder

[dzavracky]

This was kind of a silly project but since I don't have a needle holder; I decided to make one. I am annoyed at the quality of the print (I am using up some old filament so it isn't printing too well), but I think it stands out OK with some paint down in the lettering. Coincidentally, I am working on some projects on a CNC and messed up one of my Z heights and cut this little piece of aluminum too short . But it just so happened to be exactly the height of my needle dispenser and only slightly larger in diameter!

So I reprinted the holder ⅛" shorter (so the cup would stick past the top) and with a larger hole to fit the piece of aluminum. I then machined out the inside of the aluminum to make this little cup. I am hoping the paint will clean up a little after it dries, but I just thought I would post some pictures of it

Cheers,
