80er Garage for Pluggable Diamond Painting Trays

80er Garage for Pluggable Diamond Painting Trays

Here is my new 80-slot garage for my Pluggable Diamond Trays.

At first glance, this garage looks huge—but compared to my 40-slot garage, it is only 1.5 times larger.

Since only the pluggable container from the Pluggable Diamond Painting Tray plugs into the garage, you get a space-saving alternative for 80 containers. 

The garages are designed so that you can use the 10er garage segments for both the 40er garage, 60er garage and 80er garage. All 10er garage segments are identical.

So you just need to print the other parts, and you can convert a 40er garage or 60er garage into a 80er garage.

5x 608ZZ ball bearing is required! I would recommend buying a ball bearing for better rotation. You can use a printable 608ZZ ball bearing here from Makerworld, but I don't know if the rotation will be as good.

Here are instructions for the 80-slot garage, showing what you need to print and how to assemble it.

1. First, print Plate 1 and Plate 2. This process must be repeated a total of four times (four sets of the 20-unit elements).
2. Now we begin printing the frame. This starts with Plate 3 (the base mount with plugs for the ball bearings).
3. Plate 4 contains the side panels. At the end of the assembly process, you will need to check the extent of any shrinkage in the overall length (this can happen depending on the filament used, though it is not guaranteed). Should shrinkage occur—making the garages difficult to rotate—you will find spacer plates here on Plate 9. These are intended for emergency use only and are placed on top before attaching the head mount. Here on Plate 9, you have a choice of 0.5 mm, 1 mm, or 1.5 mm spacers to provide the necessary clearance.
4. Plate 5 is the top plate; it sits on top of the frame elements at the very end.
5. Plate 6 serves as the diamond-adorned lid that slots centrally into the head mount. It is designed to fit loosely; you have the option to either leave it as is or glue the lid to the head mount. Additionally, I have added a range modifier, and—should you wish to do so—you can paint the diamond a different color.
6. Plate 7 is the rotary mount.
7. Plate 8 consists of the locking plugs for the four 20-slot garage elements, allowing you to insert the diamond painting containers effortlessly without them twisting.

A pictorial assembly guide is included in the documentation.

I hope you have fun printing and assembling it!
