Paint Stand V2

Upgraded version of one of my early designs - this one is more modular, should be easier to extend with new levels or cups, and some models can be used interchangeably with the V1 (eg. reusing clamps from V1, or applying new levels from V2 in V1).

There are slight size variations - although it's better to add a new level to hold more paints rather than make larger ring (150mm vs 170mm is only ± 3 clamps).

The base ring variant (RobinRing_80 - around 150mm) - can fit 19 paint bottles (20 if you pack them tight).

See the attached assembly guide pdf for more details. 

Naturally you decide what you need, how many levels, what cups etc. Check the assembly guide to get idea how many prints are needed for your use case.

Cups and PerforatedBoard offer some expandability as we only have to print the amount we currently need, and add more later. The mounting mechanism is based on skadis and its hooks (although here they're made to have two sides, which also helps to lock cup in place making it harder to throw them off by accident).

There are some customization options via slicer - cups can be scaled in height, while Hub, Axle, PerforatedBoard come in pieces where we can scale middle part and combine them with move tools in order to get taller or shorter prints. All holes are handled by negative parts - which gives some room to scale easily within slicer.

The pseudo skadis module can also work as a desk organizer - I've build one from test and leftover parts:
