I hate binning old spools so I made ade this to convert an old spool into a rack for Vallejo, Army Painter etc. paints (25mm diameter bottles) Could be easily modified to fit other sized bottles. Uses a 6004RS bearing for the rotating stand
Roughly cut off one end of the spool - there is a cap to cover up the rough edges. Left it open at the top to store brushes etc, or fit a plastic cup for water, or it would be easy enough to make something to stack a couple together. Parts are glued together using normal superglue gel. In hindsight, I would have glued the 4 sections together first so they lined up a bit better, and the glued the full ring to the spool. It's not 100% perfect, but looks OK at a glance and serves a purpose
Easy print - no bridging, overhangs etc. and prints fine on lowest quality. Top cap prints quicker on 100% fill than honeycombed
