XenoFX Paint Pots

🎨 XenoCup – 3D Printable Miniature Painting PotDesigned by Gary Erwin🛠️ The StoryA few years ago, I tried to build a small business around making custom silicone paint pots for miniature painters. As a lifelong hobbyist and builder, I wanted something better than mugs and shot glasses cluttering my workbench — I wanted something compact, grippy, washable, and purpose-built.I created the XenoCup, a flexible silicone vessel for holding water, rinsing brushes, and resting tools while painting. I cast dozens of them by hand and sold a fair few, but like many maker-startups, time and priorities shifted — and the mold-making, silicone sourcing, and fulfillment just didn’t scale with the rest of life.So now, instead of sitting on a hard drive, I’m releasing the XenoCup as a 3D printable STL file — free for anyone to download, print, remix, and use however they like.This is my way of giving something back to the hobby that’s given me so much joy.🧪 What Is It?The XenoCup is a low-profile pai
