Revell Paint Holder

thingiverse

This tray is designed for holding Revell and Humbrol sized 14ml paints, with a capacity of 20 in each tray that can be stacked on top of another one. Its purpose is simple: organize paints efficiently while minimizing filament use. As a result, it will flex slightly when lifting the tray, but its primary function remains to store paints neatly in drawers or on shelves. The design bears some resemblance to https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3199591, yet it's an original creation not derived from that model. I would have opted for that design myself had it not required excessive print times due to its multi-layered construction and necessity of support material. My alternative design was crafted from scratch within Fusion 360, featuring a single tray that can be printed as many times as needed. Printing on a Creality Ender 3 Pro with Cura / Prusa settings at low quality/draft levels yields satisfactory results in about 2 hours 20 minutes. Increasing the travel to 60mm poses no issues. Printing without supports is feasible, provided the feet are oriented upwards during printing.
