Filament Spool paint organizer (1kg / 2,5 kg)

This is my solution for what to do with old filament spools: Use them to hold all your painting supplies!

Could this fit Tamiya 10ml and 25ml bottles? I've got some low profile spools (a bit thinner than the normal 2kg ones, same diameter but more narrow) made of transparent ABS and it would be great!

Love it

This is a very useful print. How can I adjust it to have Vallejo paints in a 1 kg spool holder?

Right now, there is no easy way. I can try to create a version in the next couple of days

Thats awesome, nice job!

Awesome. Will try. Suggestion for v2 would be to do a stackable version that can rotate. It would be awesome space saver to stack this in 3 or 4 and be able to just spin it around to see the colors and pick what you need.

Thats a great idea! Actually, I think you can use the middle insert for that: Just replace the modifier used with an object that acts as an adaptor. (edited)

I have a version in my printer right now that is a modular system where you printa a base and then for each additional you want to add on top you just print an extension. Will let you know how it turns out tomorrow when all is printed and done :D

This is absolutely fabulous and incredibly creative! Any chance you could create a version that would fit Citadel Warhammer paints as well?? (edited)

sure, what is the diameter you need?

a google search tells me 33mm diameter. does that make sense to you?
