Collection of Paint Storage Boxes

This is a collection of designs that all stack together for different model paint manufactures such as Tamiya, Revell, Humbrol, Vallejo, and RailMatch

At home, I have a range of modeling paints that I use and they are all roughly stored in a draw, when I bought a FDM printer I thought about these designs to create boxes to help store paints from different paint manufacturers that all fit together.

The idea was to create a universal tray for each type of paint that can be stored on top of each other. The size of the tray has been designed to be 160mm x 160mm and will therefore fit on most FDM printers. The lid has also been designed to be printed inverted so the build plate pattern will be on top of the lid enhancing to look.The chequered effect on the base and the top of the lid also helps with reducing the chance of warping when printing.

I recommend 3DLAC Spray to help secure the print to the print bed whilst printing, it also helps release the print after printing has finished.https://amzn.to/4cxPybm (Amazon)
