(WIP) IKEA Skadis - parametric bottle holder

thingiverse

WIP! Will be released soon™ Parametric version of paint bottle holder. * Adjustable - diameter, wall thickness and clearance gap can be changed in project * Stackable - can be placed in a row * Unified shape - just mirror same object for place it on another height * Unified pattern - you can combine modification with each other * Small filament consumption - only 15-16g of filament for single holder * Fast printing - single holder can be printed in under an hour * No supports required - optimised shape for reliable printing without any supports. Main overhangs are 40 degree * Test objects provided - print selected object, check clearance and pick holder version In "Thing files" tab you can find much of stuff: * Clearance test objects * Holders .STLs for common size bottles * Each for .4 or .6 mm nozzles/line width and variery of clearance gaps * Also project files in .f3d and .step * Finally, most common one out of archives - for Vallejo bottles with 0.8mm wall and 0.2mm clearance Models provided for Vallejo or Army Painter bottles (25mm diameter) and Pacific88 bottles (23.5mm and 26mm diameter). Each in next modifications: wall thinkness (0.8mm for 0.4mm nozzle in 2 wall lines and 1.2mm for 0.6mm nozzle in 2 wall lines or 0.4mm nozzle in 3 wall lines) and clearance size (0.0mm up to 0.5mm). You can download project and adjust size for you bottles between 22mm and 27mm. Pros are catching, does it? So let's speak about cons... I made it for most dense placing of bottles on a pegboard in combination with parametric advantages and unification so this project have some limitations. First is ability to place only 4 bottles in one holder. Second is small placing density of small 23.5mm bottles. It made for keep compatibility between rows with most common Vallejo holders. Third is pegboard compatibility. I have only IKEA Skadis pegboard so project is optimised for it's 40mm hole spacing. Project has full compatibility with 20mm spacing and partial with 30mm spacing horizontally except hooks. Hooks are designed not by me but i found them handy. You can edit hooks for your own pegboard if you wish or send be exact measures/blueprint of your prgboard.
