Parametric Paint Rack (Vase Mode)

This is a fast-printing, fully parametric rack/holder for your miniature paints.

Model is designed to be printed as one continuous, solid object using your slicer's "Spiral Vase" mode - fast to print while still being strong and functional. I tried to add and measure most bottles I know :)

 

1. Using the Provided Print Profile

The included print profile is already configured with the correct "Spiral Vase" settings.

You can customize the model to fit your needs:

• Change the number of rows and columns.
• Select your paint bottle brand from the list.
• Adjust the fit_clearance for a looser or tighter fit.

After you customize, just slice and print!

 

2. Manual Slicer Settings (For Customization / Other Slicers)

This is a fully parametric model. You can customize all of its features to create the perfect rack for your desk.

Required Slicer Settings: This model must be printed with the "Spiral Vase" checkbox = ON. This will correctly print the solid base and all the tubes in one continuous line.

The slicer_extrusion_width Parameter: This is the most important setting for making sure your bottles fit perfectly.

In "Spiral Vase" mode, you usually print a single wall that is thicker than your nozzle (e.g., 150% wider) for better strength. This parameter must match your slicer's "Outer wall" line width. The model uses this value to "pre-compensate" for the thickness of the printed line, making your fit_clearance setting 100% accurate.

In Bambu Studio, find this setting in: Process -> Quality -> Line Width -> Outer wall

 

Example 1: Using a 0.4mm Nozzle

1. In Bambu Studio, set your "Outer wall" Line Width to 0.6mm.
2. In this model, set the slicer_extrusion_width to 0.6.

Example 2: Using a 0.8mm Nozzle

1. In Bambu Studio, set your "Outer wall" Line Width to 1.0mm.
2. In this model, set the slicer_extrusion_width to 1.0.

If these two values don't match, the bottle holes will be too loose or too tight.
