Modular Spray-Can Vertical Organizer for Milk Crates (Hex-End Stopper Addons)

This design focuses on organizing spray cans upright-vertically instead of laying horizontally. The goal is to organize the spray cans held within an external storage (e.g. milkcrates, drawers. recycled boxes) to prevent the cans from sliding against each other while transporting.

One issue with using the original models standing upright-vertically is how the hex modules would always slide through the connectors and fall to the bottom.

To prevent that, I've added end-stoppers to the hex modules.

Hex end-stoppers can be used by itself, or stacked together with existing hex modules without end-stoppers (ideal if you want a more stable base support, or convert from a rack to stand setup – no wasted prints!)

MATERIALS

• An external container unit is only required if you plan to carry your spray-cans frequently.
  • If you only plan to use this for organizing, this will work standalone.
• For a snug fit, I would recommend a 13x13in. Milk Crate Storage Box (frequently on clearance at Home Depot).

SETUP NOTES

Feel free to mix-and-match the connector cap sizes based on your needs/preferences. This is just my setup based on trial-and-error.

• For lower-base stability, a Hex Module 2mm end-stopper (w/ 15mm frame-height) is recommended.
  • 1mm end-stopper versions are included for a more flushed look.
  • 10mm frame-height versions to save on filament.
  • (Experimental) A 2mm end-stopper/4mm frame-height version is included.
    • Uses least filament, but falls out of connectors easily.
    • Best stacked together with original hex modules (w/o end-stoppers) for better stability.
• For upper-top stability, a Hex Module 1mm end-stopper (w/ 10mm frame-height) is recommended.
  • 15mm frame-height version included for additional stability, but 10mm should be sufficient.
  • (Experimental) A 1mm end-stopper/2mm frame-depth version is included.
    • Uses least filament of all hex modules, but falls out of connectors easily when lifting spray-cans.
    • Handle with caution when lifting cans, or reinforce to connectors with adhesive.
• As for connectors:
  • A 150mm connector should be good for most common-sized spray cans while leaving enough room to pull cans out.
