When working on small areas, qtips can be handy. However, when strong chemicals are involved, swapping the qtip around means that these will come in contact with your hand/glove, which isn't ideal. To avoid this issue, I made this model that can hold half a qtip to avoid having to choose between wasting a side and accepting damage.
Simply insert the outer shaft onto the inner shaft, cut your qtip in half, then insert a half inside the inner shaft. Use the screw to tighten the connection (no need to overdo it, however, as it will make removal more difficult). Once done, remove the screw, push the inner shaft out and push the qtip diagonally on a surface to push it out with no other contact required.
The fusion file is provided would you want to see how it's done or simply edit the model easily.
Printing information:
Print all parts separately in the orientation that they came in.
The model doesn't require supports, but a brim can help to hold the tall and thin parts.
As the model might be in contact with fluids and to improve its flexibility, I recommend printing it in a non-porous and flexible material like PETG.
