Model/Miniature Paint Organizer Tray (25mm & 33/35mm dia)

thingiverse

Designed for a friend. This is a paint organizer tray designed to interlock with the printable connector pins. There are two versions, one for 25mm paints (Vallejo) and one for 33mm or 35mm paints (Aremy Painter and Reaper, respectively) They're sized the same so that a 25mm & 35mm tray pair cam be snapped together. This is a large size, so something on the order of a 280mm x 200mm size print bed is needed (CR-10S PRO, CR-10S4 or S5, etc) If you're printing more than one tray, you'll need to print connector pins. You'll need 2(n-1) pins for n-number of trays. My friend wanted these to be for what he guesstimated as 36-in shelves. His mixture of 25 and 33/35mm paints led to a requirement for many of these. For amount of material, the 33/35mm one seems to use 250-260g of plastic, the 25mm one seemed to use 290-310g. That means you can only get about three trays per 1kg roll of filament. Printing the 33/35mm tray with a large nozzle may make the outer edges of the slots that run right to the edge a bit thin. If you use .4mm line width with a .6mm nozzle, you have to tell the slicer to print thin walls, and even then they may come out wispy. This isn't really a problem with a .4mm nozzle, but you can't make the layers as thick, so it will take more time to print...
