Description

I am always looking for an excuse to learn CAD with practical designs. There are several versions of wall mounted paint storage already but I wanted to try to make my own. 

The paint rack in the photos:

  • 590mm x 54mm x 230mm (LxWxH) 
  • 634g PLA (Anycubic white)
  • 156 dropper bottles
  • Bambu Lab P1S total print time 38hrs (or 40mm/s print time 193 hrs)

I have now made a paint stand for 35mm bottles Dropper bottle paint stand (35mm) by ATree | Download free STL model | Printables.com

I took inspiration notably from:

HSW paint holder by Elvin | Download free STL model | Printables.comI like material and space efficiency. plus Bestagons !

backstops and shelf on top by grindy2608 - Thingiverse I liked the shelf and hidden mounting points.

 

My specification:

  • compatible with dropper bottle paints and their various bottle cap designs.
  • maximize build plate  (256 x 256)
  • minimize space needed for bottle storage
  • possible x or y axis expansion (pieces can seamlessly fit together)
  • provide resources for others to make customized rack shapes
  • shelf on top (with raised edges to prevent things falling off)
  • efficient material use 
  • easy to print
  • no supports
  • able to lift the whole rack off the wall without the paints falling out.
  • tubes long enough to have backwards bottles.
  • tubes short enough to access shorter dropper bottles I use for Citadel paints

 

Notes when making your own paint rack.

  • 42 cell racks will fill 220 x 220 build plate
  • 64 cell racks will fill 256 x 256 build plate
  • Wall thickness for the single cell model is .4mm. I recommend thickening the outer wall of the finished paint rack to .8mm (same thickness as the interior walls of the paint rack.)
  • Please share your make, I would love to see this out in the wild.
