Fully modular paint bottle station

thingiverse

UPDATE: 22DEC2019 Added a base for storing paint brushes, utilizing the same top as bottles to help separate them by type. UPDATE: 21DEC2019 Added a 16 bottle organizer Base and Top. This is a fully modular 2oz acrylic/oil based paint bottle holder. Print as many as you need and connect them all together as you accumulate paint. I wanted a minimalist paint bottle holder that did not require a huge amount of time to print and was able to print more holders as needed. The bases and tops all have a simple L-shape female slot where you can fit U-shape vertical posts when connecting other holders, or print the L-shapes if you just want a flush side support with no connection to another paint bottle holder. 4 Paint Bottle Holder - Print x1 4Bottle Base - Print x1 4Bottle Top - Print x4 L-shape or U-shape for connecting other Bases/Tops 16 Paint Bottle Holder - Print x1 16Bottle Base - Print x1 16Bottle Top - Print x3 U-shape Bracket - Print x10 L-shape Bracket Paint Brush/Tool Holder - Print x1 Brush Base - Print x1 4Bottle Top - Print x4 L-shape Bracket ***NOTE*** Print the connectors laying long ways flat on the print bed and not standing tall in vertical position. If you have connector fitment issues, then downsize the connectors to 98-99% depending on the accuracy of your printer for snap tight fitment. I recommend printing your base and top first and then only printing one connector to test fit, as it does not take long to print those. Print more as you find the scale that works for your printer. You should not need glue, but if you wish to make a more permanent station, then go for it. However, remember that if you glue it, you cannot add more holders if L-shape connectors are glued. Simplify3D settings I used: - 3 perimeters (bottom, top, sides) - 10% fast honeycomb infill on BASE and TOP - 30% fast honeycomb infill on L-shape/U-shape Brackets - 50mm/sec speed Enjoy and send feedback if you liked it, need improvements, or other ideas to improve the design. Customization is endless!
