Stepped 3-Tier Spice Rack
Created 7 days ago
Description
A three-tier stepped organizer designed to keep spice jars visible at a glance, so finding the right ingredient doesn't turn into a treasure hunt. Built for standard 40mm jars in a 3x4 layout, each row steps up by 20mm and back by 50mm to ensure labels remain completely readable from a standing height. The underside is hollowed out with 3mm structural ribs to minimize filament use while maintaining load-bearing rigidity.
Remixing This Design
- Jar Clearance: The current 172mm overall width gives four 40mm jars a comfortable fit per tier. Adjust the width parameter to tighten the layout or expand it for larger bulk containers.
- Step Ratios: The 20mm rise and 50mm tread are optimized for standard supermarket spice jars. These can be easily tweaked if accommodating taller sauce bottles or fitting into shallow overhead cabinets.
- Extensions: Designed as a standalone solid block, but the flat side profiles make it easy to scale storage infinitely by printing multiple units and setting them side-by-side.
