Wet Pallet
🕑 Added 2024-02-26 13:32:59 +0000 UTCHey Miniature Makers!
For this week we made you a tool that should be pretty useful for painting your minis. A wet pallet!
It is made so that it slots together to tightly hold the moisture in and so that it holds the paper in place.
How to Use
It fits either 3 small cheap kitchen sponges or you can stack the flatter sponge cloths instead if you would rather. Then just cut a piece of parchment or wet pallet paper to size, fill the bottom with water, slot in the sponges, and then lay the paper on top. finally slot the middle part over the base to hold it all in place and you are done!
There are also optional magnet slots to connect each part should you wish that take 5x1mm magnets.
For the size of the paper to cut to place in it, they are 13x7.5mm but the easiest way to get the size right is to turn the middle part upside down and lay it down on the paper then mark each out with a pencil each corner, and cut about 1mm wider than the markings. The same technique works for cutting the sponge cloths if you use them instead of the sponges as well, then just use sharp scissors and cut the whole lot at once.
Set Includes:
- Wet Pallet Base
- Wet Pallet Lid
- Wet Pallet Middle
Printing
They come laid flat for FDM and Fully Pre-supported for Resin printing.
Now added to your MMF library for March
With FDM remember to print it with 100% infill as it needs to be watertight!
What Paper to Use
The best paper to use is wet pallet paper and if you shop around online you can get a stack for quite cheap but I find the cheap supermarket's own-brand none stick baking paper works just fine.
Keep on Rollin'

Great suggestions! Thanks for sending those Anthony :)

Another suggestion, make it multi-functional and put the dry brush texture palette you released the middle of last year on the inside (or outside) of the lid.

As a suggestion, if you’re using the flat sponges, you don’t actually need 5 of them so you could offer a thinner bottom box as an option.

This looks great for my Guerilla Painter box.

You know what sucks about dyslexia. My sleep-deprived brain read "Pet Wallet" and got excited... But! Now I can have a real wet pallet instead of tupperware
