So, when I started mixing, my first order came in these 10ml glass vials. In fear of knocking them over and wearing them as cologne, I broke out the Fusion360 CAD software and designed a holder so that I could set them on the counter as I was mixing. I added holes where I can put my pipettes so they don't have to lay on the counter and so they don't get mixed up.
Of course all orders after that have been in dripper bottles, so I don't really have the original problem except for the 10 or so flavors I originally bought.
Anyhow, I figured since I don't seem to be able to contribute any recipes yet, I'd throw a link to the design up here and share that with you guys.

I don't know if anyone still uses vials considering most 10ml bottles come in plastic bottles nowadays. It's also easier and more convenient to mix by weight.
It's definitely more convenient. I was shocked when these flavors came in this way. It's a pain in the ass to use a pipette in them. But I figured if it saves some poor slob like me from wearing their flavors, I may as well share it. The design isn't doing anyone any good with the files sitting on my hard drive.
I've thought of updating it to fit the plastic dripper bottles, but the only problem that would be solved by it is the filament suppliers not having enough money. Even I, at my lowly beginning of mixing, would need quite a few of them to fit the flavors that I have. The nail polish racks I'm sure work better than one of these redesigned to fit the larger bottles. I do have in mind a sort of thing that could be used with the paint mixing sticks to construct racks that would hold far more bottles. But glue works for that too.
I mixed by weight exactly once and that was enough for me.
EDIT: I also shared a 510 atomizer stand and a coil wire spool holder over in r/electronic_cigarette, but didn't think they were appropriate to share in this sub.
Wizardlabs was stuck in the past for a while. They have recently started shipping droppers with their shitty glass vials.
Yeah, I heard some weird guys on some podcast talking about it.
One of the aforementioned podcast hosts recently obtained a 3D printer too, which is what prompted me to share my 3d printed accessories. I suddenly realized I might not be the only DIYer with a 3D printer, and that keeping it all to myself isn't the right thing to do when I can do something to contribute too.
How can I get one of these without a 3d printer?
You download the file from the page then upload it to a 3D printing service's website.
Cool. What do you think this would cost to print?
