I fixed the broken leg on this 3€ paint tray
I have a brand new, unused one as well but I'm saving it untill this one is no longer good. This is roughly 7 years old and gets used monthly. I always put a trash bag over it which is why it's still relatively clean.

That still remains unexplored territory for me but I can imagine the range of 3D printed solutions to mundane problems once I finally join in.
It looks brand new.
When you switch to the new one don't forget to remove & reuse the peg and screws for something else!
Take forks. A cheap plastic fork many times breaks on first use. A nicer plastic fork can last for hundreds of uses, although intended for the same life time. A steel fork lasts (AFAiK) forever. Getting disposable products over the first hump of the bathtub curve leads to some interesting bathtub curves.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing
It is. Resourcefulness. Solidly dull posts.
This is very thrifty and eco friendly I thoroughly approve
Why do you paint monthly?
I work as a handyman and painting is the most common work people buy from me.
Where are you doing your shopping? a jeweler?
Respectable
Are you me?
