Modular Hobby Paint Rack - Large Straight

thingiverse

This is the first in a line of modular paint racks designed to store and organize hobby paints. I created this to hold Vallejo or Reaper dropper paint bottles, with plans to add more shelf layouts for Miniataire, GW, and other brands. Capacity: * 42 dropper bottles (Vallejo, Reaper, Army Painter) * 34 Minitaire bottles * 26 Tamiya bottles Dropper-style bottles can be stored in either the upright or inverted position. The Reaper paints fit well in both positions without falling over or getting trapped. I designed it mainly for the inverted position to prevent paint dryout. To assemble one unit, you'll need to print the following: One of: * LeftSide * RightSide * BottomFrontSupport-Left * BottomFrontSupport-Right * BottomRearSupport-Left * BottomRearSupport-Right * CenterSupportBottom * CenterSupportTop * Shelf2-Left-(bottle style) * Shelf2-Right-(bottle style) * Shelf4-Left-(bottle style) * Shelf4-Right-(bottle style) Two of: * RearSupport-Left * RearSupport-Right * Shelf1and3-Left-(bottle style) * Shelf1and3-Right-(bottle style) Optional - Four of the following: * Riser1 * Riser2 If you use Tamiya shelves or store dropper bottles upright, the risers will attach to the rear of the shelves to raise the bottle height. You'll need two per shelf and one will need to be rotated 180 degrees for proper alignment. Some pieces have a left and right side that need to be glued together using the tabs. Unfortunately, I couldn't print them as single units due to limitations on my printer's bed size. Once you've joined all the left and right sides together, you should have a complete kit that can be assembled with the tabs and slots. I recommend gluing them together for added security, even though they fit snugly. I hope this helps make your painting desk more organized - mine certainly needed it!
