04/04/18 ///UPDATE/// I modified the Funnel to include notches at the bottom. These will allow for oil to pass if it bottoms out in a short container. Thank you to the contributors over at https://www.hobby-machinist.com/ for weighing in! If you are interested check out the thread in the link below. https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/no-spill-container-adapter-for-cutting-oil.68329/#post-572694 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- An adapter to turn most any container into a no spill container. This was created for cutting oil and WD40 at the mill and lathe in my home shop. The adapter was designed to extend from 2" (without extension) to 3.5" (fully extended) to work with most any container. I used an 8oz food storage container but you could use an old butter tub or tupperware you have lying around. My tests show that WD40 has not affected PLA and should hold up. If you experience something different leave a comment or reach out. I have two, one for WD40 (aluminum) an another for cutting oil (all other brass and steel). You'll find three separate files so you can print all in one color or multiple like I did. Have fun and hit me up with any comments. Please be careful cutting or modifying your container. Always cut away from yourself and take your time. Knives can slip when cutting plastic, make sure your valuables aren't anywhere near.
