This idea came about thanks to a suggestion from a work colleague who needed a face pads holder/ dispenser which was easily relocateable but less likely to topple over or be knocked off the dressing table.

The 5mm x 60mm Dia steel disc weight in the lower cavity can be found on eBay:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302638393122
Secure it in place with a line of CA glue around the edge and seal it in the cavity with the lower cover, again using a thin bead of CA glue around the inner edge/ step on the base cover.

It stands a little shy of 120mm high and has a diameter of 70mm.

Assembly is quite self-explanatory - An alternative weight can be used, like a small disc of lead roof flashing should be OK, as this will still be sealed inside the base.
The whole item is otherwise quite light, so some sort of anti-topple method is useful (noone really wants their hygiene items to end up on the floor!).

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Prusa

Printer:

i3 MK3

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Doesn't Matter

Resolution:

Infill:

15%


Filament:
Generic PLA PLA Colour to suit.

Notes:

On the Prusa MK3, with the PRusa Slicer 2.3.1 and with suports selected for 'everywhere', it will still manage to print the lower cavity without using supports underneath - just allow it to 'Detect Bridging Parameters' and it'll work.
Use brims just in case, but this may not be necessary.
