A 3D printed paint rack made to order in Australia means no import wait, no currency conversion, and a design sized for the exact bottle or pot you're storing. Formada3D designs and prints every rack to order in our Melbourne workshop — from the slim wall-mounted Rack 38 (from $49.99) to the flat-pack freestanding Paint Rack Tower ($34.99), shipped Australia-wide with tracked AusPost.
Where are these paint racks made?
Every rack in our range is designed and 3D printed to order in our Melbourne, Victoria workshop — nothing is imported, warehoused or mass-produced overseas. Because each order is printed rather than pulled off a shelf, colours and sizing are made-to-order options rather than fixed stock. Typical turnaround is 3–5 business days to print, then tracked AusPost shipping Australia-wide (and to the US).
Wall-mounted or freestanding — which should I get?
If you want zero desk footprint, wall-mounted racks like Rack 38 mount flat against a wall on a keyhole slot, fitting any standard picture hook or wall screw. Add a riser gallery behind it and the Rack + Riser Combo holds 84 bottles on the same wall footprint. If you'd rather not mount anything, the Paint Rack Tower is a freestanding flat-pack kit that assembles by hand and stands on any desk or shelf — add its own riser for up to 106 paints in the Tower + Riser Gallery. The Gallery Ladder is another freestanding option with modular shelves that take dropper bottles and Citadel pots side by side.
Do the racks fit Citadel pots or dropper bottles?
Rack 38 and the Paint Rack Tower are built around dropper-bottle proportions — Vallejo, Army Painter, Scale75 and similar. If you're storing 32mm Citadel pots specifically, see our dedicated Citadel pot rack guide — the Gallery Ladder in this range takes both bottle types on the same shelves.
