If you need to paint or finish a part, paint cones are a must. They hold your part above the surface. They allow you to hold a wet part without marking it. They can hold spherical parts in place and stabilize complicated shaped ones.

These are serious paint cones. Unlike cheap printable or commercial ones, those have all you want :

  • tetrahedron scalable shape for best stability
  • secure it in in place with screws (or not)
  • star shape (not pyramidal) to prevent over-spray bouncing
  • heavy duty shape to hold both heavy and light parts even on 3 cones only

The V2 version addresses some of the reported challenges while introducing new improvements:

  • Now compatible with vase mode for faster printing (because we all need tools quickly).
  • Uses less material.
  • Slightly taller for parts with lips or hollow bottoms.
  • Less pointy for improved print finishing and to prevent potential damage to soft or heavy parts.
  • Added a 'not securable' version for faster printing.

These paint cones are part of the Serious Bench Biscuit System :

Directions:

  • Configure your slicer for vase mode.
  • Adjust perimeter speed for faster printing, depending on your printer.
  • Include 2.4mm bottom layers for better results.
  • Enjoy!"
