About this piece
What you get
One Paint Hive in five stepped rows: 25 wells for paint pots (198 × 166 mm, 14–30 mm tall) or 30 wells for dropper bottles (202 × 166 mm, 22–38 mm tall).
What fits
For paint pots the wells are 34 mm across and 12 mm deep, sized for Citadel pots. For dropper bottles they're 29 mm across and 20 mm deep, sized for Army Painter bottles. Each pot or bottle stands on a ring at the bottom of its well so it can't drop through, and anything up to the well size fits.
How it works
The rows step up 4 mm towards the back, and every well is the same depth, so each row of paints stands 4 mm higher than the one in front and every lid and label stays in view. The back is flat to sit against a wall, and the sides follow the honeycomb, so two hives butt together into one long rack. Every Paint Hive piece is cut from the same honeycomb, so the pieces butt together with no gap and no double wall. Both versions are 166 mm deep, so a pot hive and a dropper hive line up front and back along the same wall. Add a Paint Hive Corner to turn the corner of the room and a Tool Rack anywhere in the run for your brushes and tools. A Riser behind it adds two more stepped rows, and Well Inserts turn any well into a brush tube, tool cup, bits tray or mixing dish.
Colour
Printed in grey PLA (Bambu Lab PLA Basic Gray): a soft, neutral mid grey that keeps the eye on your paints, matches any desk and hides dust and paint smudges well. Every piece in the range is the same grey, so racks bought months apart still match.
Made by us

Hives join side by side, corners take a run round the corner of the room, and a riser with its own end caps adds two stepped rows behind. Every piece is printed on the same honeycomb, so it all fits together.
