Basic Collection

This is a basic collection of a larger system available to be purchased here.

I understand this system has been available for free for years. I greatly appreciate everyone's interest in this system and LOVE seeing everyone's setups!! I have been debating moving to a free and paid versions for months. This choice was not an easy one to make.

As I re-double my interest in tabletop / miniature gaming, I would love to continue supporting this system with enhancements and upgrades, and already have a few ideas in mind! I would also love to have funding to purchase paint bottles when requested by others, to design the shelves. Moving to a free & paid version helps support me in this endeavor!

I sincerely appreciate everyone's understanding, support, and interest!

Description

I have designed myself some shelves that hold paints, knives, and other accessories for building and painting tabletop miniatures!

This system is entirely modular and can be easily expanded upon over time. You can put a shelf on both sides of a wall and chain them together. For instance, you can do a 2-step wall, shelves, 2-step wall, shelves, and a 2-step wall. 

The pieces are designed to fit together fairly well. Most any FDM printer should be capable of printing these pieces while maintaining some level of strength. However, I strongly recommend that you glue the pieces together, to ensure it doesn't fall apart. I used super glue on my shelves, and they've held up for over 4 years!

Included Options

This listing includes the following options:

• 2 shelf desktop step wall
• 2 shelf wall-mounting wall
• 3x 26mm circles and 2x 34mm circles
• 1-step box shelf
• 1-step flat shelf

I'm providing a few options here in this free version, to help everyone get a feel for the options and perhaps print tests to ensure their printer does not have any issues with the designs. More options are available in the paid version. A list of all the options can be found in the listing of the complete system.

These sizes are as of Dec 2023, and I cannot guarantee I didn't miss any bottle sizes!
