Tilt your spice jars about 20° forward, so that you can mount the racks closer together

After printing several copies of MatsErik's spice racks, I realized I didn't have vertical space for hanging them all where I wanted them. You obviously need clearance between the individual racks to be able to take the jars out, which I did not account for. Rather than scrapping what I had printed and making a remixed model, I designed this mounting bracket, which holds four of the spice racks and tilts them forward about 20°.

It should fit the spice jars that are common over here (Sweden). Note that the jars do not quite slip under the bottom of the rack above them, but due to the tilt and the fact that the cups for the jars in the original model have a lot of clearance, this does not matter (for the jars I own!). But if you want to fix this, you can add a few millimeters to the height between the racks in the FreeCAD file :)  

Since each bracket is kind of too long to fit on most print beds, I split it in half with a dovetail profile, which should give a secure fit once printed. If the fit is tight, use a soft mallet to convince them.

I recommend printing them with the part that goes against the wall against the print bed. This is to get more strength around the screw holes to avoid delaminating the layers as you put the screws in. Especially so for the holes that mount the racks onto the bracket. This does mean you need to use supports around the dovetail joint (in the two-part model).
