Ikea Skadis Pegboard Wargaming Paint Bottle Holder

thingiverse

A buddy of mine is into wargaming and wants to organize his paints in a way that makes them easily accessible and all stored neatly. He spotted the design by Black Hussar (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2393177) which is pretty neat, but the meshes seem a bit broken and after fixing them the paint holder doesn't quite fit the Ikea Skadis Pegboard for some reason. So I stepped in and designed a new one from scratch. The paint holder is sized so it uses two same-aligned rows of pegs on the Skadis pegboard (so technically 4 rows), but spacing is left between holders so that they fit next to each other in a row. I've added versions for 3, 4 and 5 Citadel paint bottles which should make it possible to cover pretty much any situation on the Skadis pegboards. If you need different lengths, drop a comment. The back side features removeable hooks and securing pegs (for easier printability) which can also be adjusted for height, should you wish to do so. The currently provided files work with Citadel paint bottles (~33mm diameter) and the opening in holders fits nose-down Vallejo Game Color dropper paint bottles (23mm diameter hole for smaller cap but larger bottle body). The differences between regular and "simple" GW_PaintHolder are pretty much cosmetic. The simple one has a different back design which makes it use a bit less plastic and thus print a tiny bit faster. I'm planning on adding a couple more versions for different paint bottle types in the future, but it's not a high priority for me. If you want to design your own versions, I've added a PDF with blueprints and key measurements as reference material, as well as 'blanks' for easy modification (with number indicating how many pegs it uses). If you need more information, different file formats or want me to adjust anything, specific paint bottle support or something else, drop a comment and I'll see what I can do.
