Glue Bottle Stand

One of the most annoying things in my workshop is the mostly but not quite empty glue bottle. It takes forever to get the glue out after it settles at the bottom. Due to the glue’s viscosity it flows very slowly to the nozzle when turned upside down. So why not store the glue bottle upside down to avoid this problem. Introducing the glue bottle stand designed for the 16 FL. OZ. Titebond wood glue bottle. You may store the bottle either right side up (when mostly full) or upside down (when mostly empty).

I designed the stand in Autodesk Fusion 360 and 3D printed the attached files with PLA filament and the following settings: 0.16mm layer height, 20% infill, brim, supports. The stand took about 6 hours to print.

Also included is a catch tray should some glue leak out when upside down (I don’t find it necessary); and a very useful bottle opener to help with the pop-up nozzle cap on the Titebond glue bottle. These 3D prints are some of the most useful items in my workshop!
