Paint Stand

Build your own paint storage. 

This will be a long-term project.

Feel free to show off your combinations and give inspiration to others. Thanks!

Fits bottles and cans with dimensions 26mm 30mm 32mm and 36mm.
Can be built together with different steps, 20mm 50mm 80mm 110mm 140mm high. 
These can be built together to fit your painting table. 
The dimensions of one shelf are 220x40mm. 

Start with "Shelfstand 20mm start" and build so it suits you. 

Use “Sheld end” for a nicer finish on the shelf. 
With the right bottle, there is the possibility to put it upside down. 
It is also possible to store brushes and pencils in the storage unit. 
The front pen storage is just loose between the shelf stand. 

You can start use the "container" and "Storage" unit on the "Shelfstand 50mm".

I glued the “Brush Lid for container” together with the “container” unit.

New update 2025-08-22

A big update of the paint stand is now here. I will say thanks to "stylesuxx" here on printables who gave me inspiration for this update.
The new thing is that the shelfstand does not need as much material to be printed, this also gives a faster print. The new butterfly lock gives a more stable assembly.
Different sizes of storage with 6 different compartment systems so that you can build it exactly how you want it. The possibility of mounting a sign where you can write what should be in the compartment.
Those of you who have already printed a lot of shelves and want to build further can still use your old shelves, even if you continue to print the new shelf stand.

I move old files to a special folder.

New update 2025-01-03

This is a stabilization package for the paint stand that is mounted on the back of the stand, this is to get a slightly more stable rack.

Then I have also made new corner shelves (22.5) so that they fit both left and right. 
I leave the old corner shelves on the homepage for download, but there will be no stabilization bar for these shelves. 
Assembling the Stabilizer Bar with Stabilizer grip can be a bit difficult as the fit is very accurate, this is to make it stable.

Finally, here it is! The unit that allows you to have a clean table when you are working on a project. When the bottles is in use, you can place the bottles here so you don't get the wrong shade of ink during the painting process.
Also comes with a device, so the bottles can stand upside down to drain if it starts to run out of ink.
