Paint carousel

To make it easier for me to find my paints, I have developed a rotating paint carousel. The carousel fits the Vallejo 17ml colors.

Besides the Prusament spools and the 3D printed parts, the following components are needed:

4 pcs. Ball bearing 608RS 8x22x7mm
1 pc. M8 threaded rod, 385mm long
2 pcs. M8 nut
2 pcs. screw M3x9mm

Print the following quantities for a 4 level carousel:

4 pcs. carousel_spool_adapter
4 pcs. carousel_bottle_holder
3 pcs. carousel_spacer_sleeve
1 pc. carousel_base
1 pc. carousel_upper_part
1 pc. carousel_lid
1 pc. carousel_handle

Post-Printing

The ball bearing is pressed into the adapter and holds without additional gluing. The adapter is glued into the spools with epoxy resin glue. The bottle holder is also glued to the spools.

The carousel is clamped together with the threaded rod and the two nuts. The handle is attached to the lid using the two screws (a bit tricky). Finally, the lid is screwed on (at the beginning the thread is a bit rough).

Update 19.10.2023:

I added additional versions carousel_spacer_sleeve_lf, carousel_base_lf and carousel_upper_part_lf. Those files have a large inner diamter and therefor a looser fit of the threaded rod.
