Empty Spool To Paint Tray

cults3d

This is a work in progress. Organizer tray for acrylic and model paints. I used Visio to create the PDF drilling templates. A nine hole and a ten hole version. Print the PDF out, clip it in place, drill all the pilot holes, then drill the full circle cut outs with a 1-1/2" hole saw. The 34mm adapter is optional, but will hold the 2 fl oz bottles a tad more snugly. The 30mm adapter (cup) will hold a shorter 20ml bottle. I don't recall if the shot glass adapter was tested (I don't see it laying around here). It should've been designed to hold disposable 1 fl oz plastic shot glasses. Which for some reason are getting harder to find near me. Everyone, now, seems to carry the larger Red Solo Cup 2 fl oz cups instead. That said, the shot glasses fit fine without an adapter. (The one pictured is using a custom sized cap). I still need to finish/print the design for stacking the spools. (But I've started to lose interest, and went back to the Harbor Freight bins). I may use these less for storage, and more during an actual paint job. I think the nine hole version is going to work out better if I start stacking these, and still leave space for any in-use adapters. I don't have any fancy, high-end, model paints at the moment. All the 2 fl oz bottles I tested withare from Michaels and Home Depot. The smaller bottle is a glow-in-the-dark paint I bought from Amazon.
