Greetings everyone,
Well, I bought this amazing Hanna Marine Kits refractometer, but to be honest disappointed with storage, because all bottles are sideways. Too many times a little not fully closed bottle leaked on me in my life, so I decided to download and print some organisers, but to my surprise not so many for this kit plus this kit has a different size of cuvettes, not like regular handheld specific to one test refractometers I used to have.
So I made like 5 different versions and at the end I'm happy with the one I'm posting here.
It's modular, so you can print only those you like/need. Each module has two main parts: storage for reagents/bottles/pipettes and etc in double amount, so you can always keep a new set, for the reagents on packs there is a small slot, so you can put 7-10 of them and once main finished it means you probably need to order a new set asap. Second part is for cuvettes, I just added as many as possible with possibility to store 'caps' for drying. Cap holders are printed separately and simply placed into slots (see photos).
Everything is printed without support, since everything is designed to be printed this way.
There are also connecting 'rods' and 'side' rods, the back one are not ready, since I still not sure if I want to make it lockable to the wall, because bottom is open for dripping water (all containers) meaning it will drip water on everything below. Those rods can be glued or they just so snag fit, could be ok for you. They have 'legs' so everything is rised and well ventilated. Side parts are printed for the last parts in the row. Or you can have each set separately with sides.
You do not need support, I used PLAm but I guess PETG would be better/longer lasting, infill was 10%, since it's solid strong and I was printing in fast mode, still quality was super!
