The Ultimate Modular Paint Rack Generator

Tired of paint pots rolling off your desk? Sick of one-size-fits-all racks that don't fit your collection?

Rack Architect V25 is a fully parametric, fully customizable hexagonal paint rack that you configure directly in MakerWorld's online customizer. No software to install, no CAD experience required. Just set your parameters, generate, and print.

Built for the miniature painting community — whether you play W40K, Age of Sigmar, D&D, Bolt Action, Star Wars Legion, or any tabletop wargame.

✅ FULL FEATURE LIST

🧪 Universal Pot Compatibility

Set any pot diameter from 10 mm to 80 mm (0.5 mm increments)
Set any pot height from 10 mm to 150 mm
Adjustable clearance/tolerance around each pot (0 to 3 mm) for a snug or loose fit
Works out of the box with:
- Vallejo (dropper bottles, 26 mm)
- Citadel (paint pots, ~28 mm base)
- Army Painter (dropper bottles, ~26 mm)
- Scale75 (dropper bottles)
- AK Interactive
- Reaper, P3, Warcolours, and more
- Any custom or third-party bottle

🔀 Dual-Pot Support (NEW in V25)

Two different pot types in the same rack!
Define a primary pot (e.g. Vallejo dropper) and a secondary pot (e.g. Citadel pot)
Both holes are concentric — the rack automatically adapts to fit both sizes
Each pot type has its own diameter, height, tolerance, and protrusion settings
Perfect for mixed collections — no more separate racks for each brand

📐 Fully Configurable Rack Dimensions

1 to 20 columns (width)
1 to 10 rows (depth)
Staircase effect: adjustable vertical step between rows (0–30 mm) so you can see every label at a glance
Wall thickness: 1 to 5 mm
Bottom thickness: 2 to 10 mm
Hexagonal grid with automatic odd-row offset for compact, space-efficient packing

🖌️ Integrated Brush Holder

Dedicate any cell to brush storage instead of paint pots
1 to 12 brush holes per cell
Adjustable brush hole diameter (3–15 mm) — fits fine detail brushes to large drybrushes
Adjustable minimum wall thickness between holes
Smart auto-layout algorithm: holes are evenly distributed inside the hexagonal cell
Four rack modes:
- All Primary Pots — every cell holds a paint pot
- Dual Pots — every cell holds two pot sizes (primary + secondary)
- With Brush Zone — you pick exactly which cells are brushes, the rest are pots
- All Brushes — every cell is a brush holder

🔗 Cell Merging — Create Open Storage Bins

Merge adjacent cells to create large open bins for tools, washes, or supplies
Up to 3 merge groups, each combining multiple cells
Adjustable bin depth (5–150 mm)
Just enter cell coordinates — the generator handles the geometry automatically
Ideal for:
- Wash/shade pots that don't fit standard cells
- Hobby knives, clippers, files
- Palettes, sponges, water cups
- Any oversized item

👁️ Visibility & Ergonomics

Front cutout notch on each pot cell so you can read the label without lifting the pot
Notch is automatically sized and safety-checked — it never pierces the floor
Adjustable protrusion: control how far each pot sticks out above the rack (10–100 mm per pot type)
Coordinate overlay mode: displays [row, col] labels on every cell to help you configure merges and brush placements
