Modular overly complicated folding 25mm model paint rack for resin printers

thingiverse

This is a remix of "Overly complicated folding 25mm model paint rack" by fetchbeer designed to print into a longer unit while being printed in 4 paint sections on a mid sized resin printer. I have also incorporated the glue bottle version from the remix made by bfisch1983. With this design you can mix and match to make any width you like (use bfisch1983 the version if you only want 4 paints across). This rack is good for war paints (ie speedpaint), game color, vallejo and likely several other brands that use the similar drip bottles. Lychee print files of all parts for a 5x12 (60) bottle configuration scaled and supported for an anycubic mono 4k is included (most mid size printers should be fine). You could easily print more of the center sections and clips if you need more than 60 paint bottles. Update: To make things even more complicated the bracket from the original design does not fit on a resin printer. I have created a 2 piece design for the bracket which will obviously reduce the strength but should still be adequate for the intended use case when glued together. Original Instructions: A folding rack to hold 30 25mm bottles of miniature paint. Needs 16 x 3/8 long 6-32 screws to attach rails to rack pieces, and 4 x 3/4 long 6-32 screws to attach legs. Leave all screws a little loose so that the pivots move freely. Due to the way my files get exported the STLs are rather randomly oriented, when laid down, they are all printable without supports. The shape of the slot on the legs is useful for locking them in the out position, they move about halfway out when tilting the unit, but need to be moved manually the rest of the way.
