Revell paint pot holder

thingiverse

I needed a storage solution for my model paints so I designed something. It has plenty of space for 20 paint pots and a splash back to catch any paint drops that might hit the wall. There are two versions: one with stepped compartments, and another where all the pots are on the same level. The row of holes at the back are meant for paintbrushes but they can also hold more paint pots if needed. Due to issues with the hole tolerance, I had to redesign this project to version 2. In this new design, the pot-holding holes have a diameter of 32mm so the paint pots fit snugly in them. To make up for it, I added smaller holes that are 3mm in diameter for small tools and brushes. I was able to print out most parts but the backboard failed to print somehow. It might be because it's too thin.
