Expandable, interlocking paint rack for Citadel paints (33mm).

Couldn't find the perfect rack, so I had to design my own. The existing racks all have at least one of several flaws:

Non-staggered rows - the paint pots are hidden behind each other. This design has staggered rows so you can see the ones behind better.

Trying to save too much space - rows are too close to each other, so that you can't get a good grip around the pot you want without having to push the adjacent pots out of the way. This one actually has space for your fingertips to comfortably grab the pot you want. It also gives you the possibility to tip the pot back to check the colour name to be really sure.

Too fancy, "filament-saving" design - in an effort to look good, or to save filament, the designer has added holes in the design. This just creates the need to print walls for all those holes. This just creates an immense amount of travel time around all those holes. So, in an effort to save 10c of filament, the designer has instead created literally hours of additional travel time in a print this size. This design is one single shell with one single inside cavity - a cavity that can be filled with as sparse an infill as you want (paint pots do NOT need sturdy infill), and that infill can be printed at very high speeds, as quality is not important.

This design is also interlocking and endlessly expandable.

I have uploaded two designs - one 5x3 and one 5x5 (which is the largest that fits on my Creality CR-6 SE). If there should turn out to be a call for it, I'll gladly consider adding other combinations, variations, corner pieces, and what-not. Let me know.
