With the addition of AK paints to my collection I
found that storage has become an issue, since my existing storage rack didn’t
fit them, thanks to the large cap on the AK bottles. After a bit of searching
around online there wasn’t a lot of options, so I started designing my own to
take all three brand that I use, Army Painter, Vallejo and AK paints. After
printing off a few squares with different diameters I figured out the best diameter
for the front and back support. Did a couple of test prints of a holder for one
bottle then used the scale to a whole row of 10. Still needs a little adjustment as I keep
forgetting about the PLA expansion and end up sanding parts back a bit to make
them fit. Overall, I’m happy with the diameters and the slight drop from front
to back to help keep the paints in the rack for when you bump the desk etc.
Last thing I need is paints falling onto freshly painted resin miniatures. So
one more test print before I expand out to printing a rack of for 50 paints.
