Summary

A stand for the oil can i use to lubricate my printer. The main feature is a little dish to catch drops falling off the oiling tip.

The pictures are of an earlier version without the centering horns.

I’ve made some parameters customizable to adapt to differently sized oil cans. There are some more things somewhat easily changed in the OpenSCAD file directly.

The “preview” switch just turns the smoothness of the cylinders up.

How I Designed This

This is a simple OpenSCAD design of just a few cylinders, cones and cuboids.

A bigger problem was the customizer, that balks at non-ASCII characters such as “©”.

There is some design history available at my github repo.
