Description

Intro:

I've been sitting on some design concepts inspired by Kobold Keep's Recent-ish Kickstarter for expandable paint racks. I don't much care for acrylic or to have the shelves on my hobby desk.

I do have a wall just next to it that is begging to be used to hold and display paint. So I designed this system with expandable shelves in mind.

-----------------------------

Design Criteria:

  1. One-stop design for all the various paints I have - no alternate or different pieces for brand-specific paint. This was important to me to reduce waste and to work with my habit of not keeping the same organization for long.
    Currently Supports: Armypainter/Vallejo, Citadel Paint Pots (tall and small), Applebarrel/BigBox Craft Paint, and it should also fit the Proacryl range - though I don't own any to show off.
  2. Grab-and-Go mentality, I want to be able to grab a few paints at a time and keep them easily accessible and organized, even off the shelf. I settled on 3 pots per both for color triad reasons, but also to keep things more accessible to smaller printers (I started on the mono-price minis)
  3. Expandable, I don't want to have to scrap and reprint things if and when I expand my collection this also ties into #1
  4. No Support Material, similar to #1 & #3 I dislike wasting things, even cheap PLA.
  5. Colors Visible, I wanted to be able to read and see the colors of my paints while they were being stored. Bonus points the holes help remove material to aid in #3 & #4

-----------------------------

Progress Report/Updates:

11/4: My Ender 3's just dont seem to be reliable enough to get the large paint rack printed, I've uploaded a smaller version that should still work to hold 6 or 12 paints with the Frames. At least when I can get around to the locking clips.

 

11/2: Added the V2 of everything, this included shortening the Top of the paint frame to allow better clearance of the smaller citadel pots. I also added additional extrusions to the paint frame both to secure the larger pots betters. The cut out on the frame bottom was pointed to avoid sagging interferences. Shelves for both ends and middle created, adjusted height of one end to hold the frames more securely, as well as adjusting tolerances in connection pegs. Tray was added and top frame got cut outs for future Key model to ensure frames cant slide/fall out.

11/1: I wanted to try and get the listing up quickly to take advantage of the flash contest, so right now this model is the V1 of everything. Things are a bit rougher and lack some fine-tuning, but it still works! You can see the rendered image to get a sneak peek of the V2 which is currently printing and fails permitting this listing will be updated tomorrow with V2 models and pics.
