I am using these modules to paint my models. And keep my workspace tidy. Modules all fit HSW format honeycomb plates.

This is my modular paint system.
The modules all fit in Honeycomb format tiles, which allows you to configure your own palette as you wish.
There are other modules to keep thing organized. Brush holders, Paint bottle holders etc..
I really like working with this.
Every model I paint requires different amounts of paint and brushes. This lets me set it up just as I like for each case.
Now I have organized my collection of modules and thought I'd share it here. Since I have already taken so much :)
Most elements are designed and modelled by myself.
There are a few exceptions where I have remixed a model or have been inspired by it.
Remixes :
Brush Cleaner : the excellent Paint Brush Cleaner
You can generate your own shape of baseplate easily with Customizable Honeycomb Storage Wall (OpenSCAD)
I have printed everything in PLA. Except for the HSW plates. Those were already printed in PETG.
Make sure to give your slice enough perimeters, or the paint will easily leak through.
I have used snug supports. Those are easy to remove when printing in PLA in my experience.
(Organic goes well too)
The project file (.3mf) has those settings.
I have added a g-code file to print a set of modules.
Your comments, ideas .. are more than welcome.
Happy Painting!
UPDATE 26/4: I wasn't happy with the stability of the brush stands, so I changed the connector to a full HSW connector. More difficult to remove from your plate, but stable.
Also optimized brush entry angle.

UPDATE 29/10: Added a “large-minis” element. For when you only need a drop :)

UPDATE 15/11: Added a lock-element for the painting stand.



I found that when painting a heavier object, the painting stand was less secure in the HSW plate than I wanted. Even became loose sometimes. This new plug helps to secure the model to the plate.
UPDATE 29/01
Added a Paint Handle

UPDATE 12/01
Added stick holders
