Test Kit Holder (Aquaponics/Aquarium etc)

pinshape

Created to store my API brand water test kits for use with my aquariums, aquaponics garden setup and koi tank. The device displays 5 test kit color charts & holds 5 test tubes (with or without cap on base) & has space for up to 10 test kit bottles. I am not affiliated with API. I printed the tray in Yasin Grey PLA (1.75mm). Print settings include: Printer - Yasin 200 Dual Extruder, Rafts - No, Supports - No, Resolution - 0.2, Infill - 10%. The print was oriented vertically, with the star shape on the print bed. Post-printing, slide the tray handle into the bottom of the tray base until flush. It is designed as an interference fit and slid together well in my print, but can be easily popped back out if needed. I designed this holder to house all my API test kits after having them stored in a plastic box under the bench and getting frustrated with where to put the test tubes during a test. The device is not only good for storage, but also useful during a test to hold the test tubes and have the color chart right there when needed. I designed this in Solidworks.
