Tamiya paint holders for IKEA Skådis peg board

This is my design of a modular IKEA Skådis peg board paint holder. It fits 10 and 23 mL paint bottles from Tamiya, Mr. Color, AK, and other brands!

Design details:

The peg board slots are exactly 40 mm apart, and the Tamiya 23 mL paint bottle is slightly wider at about 40.5 mm diameter. I arranged them in a staggered configuration so that the paint bottles align with the peg board slots.

The Skådis boards from IKEA comes in three sizes - 36 cm (14¼ in), 56 cm (22 in), and 76 cm (30 in). Using a combination of the "aligned" and "offset" models, you can fill the entire row with paint holders at 40 mm intervals. The "aligned" models have the paint bottle directly aligned with the peg board slots, and the "offset" models have the paint bottles in between the peg board slots.

For example, the image below shows a medium-sized board (56 cm wide, same configuration as my pictures). There are alternating rows of 14 and 13 slots on the board, you can use the "aligned" stands for the 14 slot rows, and "offset" stands for the 13 slot rows. Either one will have a capacity of 56 / 4 = 14 slots per row. The "offset" models named "left" and "right" are for the left and right edge of the peg board (since there's no slots at the very edge of the board).

I have made all combinations of sizes and configurations with 3 and 4 slots modules, so you should be able to combine them to fill any sized board you have! Or fill half of the board, you can organize them however you want!

On the spacing of the holders:

10 / 23 mL above 23 mL: at least 80 mm (4 rows) above

23 mL above 10 mL: at least 80 mm (4 rows) above

10 mL above 10 mL: at least 60 mm (3 rows) above, this is really tight but it will fit

Print details:

I printed mine with Sunlu PLA at 0.2 mm layer height, 3 perimeters / top / bottom layers, and 10% zig-zag infill.

I recommend printing in the model orientation, with supports on the bottom surface. No supports are needed for the upper curved parts, use support blockers if your slicer tries to add supports there.

Print time estimates using PrusaSlicer profiles for the CORE One, with 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.2 mm layer height and 3 perimeters / top / bottom layers, filament amount includes support:

You can save a bit of filament and printing time by using 2 perimeters / top / bottom layers, though not by much since most of the models are thin walls!
