Storage rack system for Hobby paints

This is a paint rack/storage system for hobby and miniature paints.
The paint bottles are held in interchangable trays that can be placed on the shelves.
I created a few variations:
parts tagged with "26mm" fit paint bottles of 26mm and smaller. This includes Scale75, Vallejo, Army Painter, Warcolours, OLD monument/pro-acryl, Reaper, Turbodork, etc (nominal size of bottle holders is 26.5mm). Holders hold 8 paints per tray.
Parts tagged "GW" fit the wider pots from Games Workshop, P3, cote d'arms, NEW monument/pro-acryl and others. (nominal size is 33mm). 7 pots fit in each tray.
The holder tagged as "GW-26" is sized to fit in the shelf intended for the GW sized paints, but holds 8 26mm pots instead of 7 33mm.
The shelves come in 4 and 5 tray sizes. All will fit within the build plate of a prusa mk2/3 (the largest size will need to have the skirt disabled on a prusa mk2/3)
Parts pictured were printed on Prusa mk3, at 10-15% infill (gyroid), 0.20mm layers, using a mix of hatchbox, matterhackers and esun PLA.
Comments and feedback is welcome, and any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Printed the shelf on an Ender 5 Pro. Too large for the Ender's bed size - each Citadel bottle is 31.9mm wide, so I scaled the X axis back 66mm (73.15%) to make it 5 bottles wide instead of 7. Uses a lot of material, but a very nice shelf and exactly what I was looking for!
