Model/Miniature Paint Organizer Tray (25mm & 33/35mm dia)

thingiverse

Human: Designed for a friend. This is a paint organizer tray designed specifically to interlock seamlessly with printable connector pins. Two versions are available - one for 25mm paints (Vallejo) and another for 33mm or 35mm paints (Aremy Painter and Reaper, respectively). The trays are sized identically so that a pair consisting of a 25mm and 35mm tray can be easily snapped together. This is a large size, requiring an approximate print bed size of 280mm x 200mm, such as those found on the CR-10S PRO, CR-10S4 or S5. If you're printing multiple trays, you'll need to create connector pins, specifically 2(n-1) pins for n-number of trays. A friend requested these trays for shelves estimated to be around 36 inches in length, and his mixture of 25mm and 33/35mm paints necessitated the creation of many connectors. In terms of material usage, the 33/35mm tray appears to consume approximately 250-260g of plastic, while the 25mm tray uses about 290-310g. This means that you can only print around three trays per 1kg roll of filament. Printing the 33/35mm tray with a large nozzle may result in thin outer edges on the slots that run along the edge. If you use a .4mm line width with a .6mm nozzle, instruct your slicer to print thin walls; even then, they might come out wispy. This isn't a significant issue with a .4mm nozzle, but it will take more time to print thinner layers...
