My earlier paint stand set proved to be a bigger and bigger space hog with each new paint set I purchased. Inspired by some of the alternative designs I found here on Printables and other places, I've created a modular stand of my own.

Some highlights:

  1. it's stackable/modular - make it as tall as you fancy (each ring takes 18 bottles of Vallejo or Army Painters paints)
  2. uses Prusament spool plastic parts to minimise printing time
  3. top “floor” can be used for brushes

Future plans: make a “rotating” base so it's easier to work with when picking a paint.

NOTE: I wouldn't probably go taller than four or five “floors”. The cores are only 2 perimeter thick parts so not entirely sure they could support the load. Feel free to try though! :D 

UPDATE (30 Aug 2022): Added a bottle ring for Citadel paints. Holds 14 of them.

UPDATE (10 Sep 2022): Replaced the STL for Citadel paints with a lower one so that even the 12ml bottles fit in nicely (the old version was too tall so the smaller bottles' hinges needed to be moved forwards in order to fit).

UPDATE (19 Oct 2022): Added STL files for revolving base (makes it a lot easier to rotate fully loaded stand - my hand is defo much happier now!). You will need 5x 608 type ball bearings.
