Wall Mountable Miniature Paint Storage Solution

prusaprinters

<p>I decided that I needed a way to organize my miniature paints to both make it easier to find the color that I wanted and to get them off of my painting table, which was getting cluttered. &nbsp;So, I designed these holders to be easily mounted on the wall behind the table (and to be removable in case I wanted to set a collection of paints down on the table itself or set up a color palette for a project or something). &nbsp;So, I designed these guys; they're leaning back at a 30 degree angle to keep the paint firmly in place but still make it easy to put them in and take them out. &nbsp;These are sized for Vallejo or Army Painter bottles and do <strong>not</strong> fit Citadel pots.</p><p>While I was mounting these, I realized that I needed a jig to help me line up the second row of paint holders, so I whipped that up and included it here as well (it's the PaintStorage8template.stl file). &nbsp;It's got the same hole spacing as the paint holders on the horizontal axis, but it includes a second row above it that has enough of a gap to allow the bottom row to still be lifted out if you want. &nbsp;I also put a little shelf on it so that you can use a level when marking out your screw holes (if you're the kind of person who wants a bespoke miniature paint storage solution, I figure that we have a lot in common and so know that you must also want to make sure that each section is actually level).</p><p>I printed these with a 0.4 mm nozzle (laying on their back so that the strong layer orientation would support the screw mounts) and 0.2 mm layers. &nbsp;These guys don't need any supports, although the print angles are pretty steep and so you might end up with a little bit of slop depending on what your printer can handle.</p><p>As always, the .blend file and pre-supported .3mf (including one that I used to print this on my Prusa MK3 (if applicable), although the support points should work for SLA printers) for my models are available to my patrons at https://patreon.com/VirtuallyJason.
