I have been looking for something like this for a while.
Hexagon A4 Paper Tray - Modular Design
Another project that is a bit over the top to solve a very not over the top problem.

I made a version for 9x13 sandpaper. But I didn't want to use that many screws, so I made a printable pressfit dowel to assemble the rack. It works wonderfully even without any glue! It only needs 4 M3screws and nuts per level, everything else is done with the printed dowels. These dowels are compatible with the original version (this version)!!! I also made grit tags for the racks. Thanks for a great model that I have been able to upgrade to a larger size and less screws!!!

Turned out great! I 3d printed some plastic "pegs" instead of using M3 machine screws, and used Loctite super glue "plastic bonding system." I also added the spacer another user modeled for US letters.
made the american remix... i don't have screws anymore... but at least my paper tray has a racing stripe :D

Made one tray and so far looking great! Printed the M3 screws so I can play around with colours.
so i love this design. i am looking at making these for my 12x12 cardstock for my cricut. curious if anyone has tried this or if i should just print out extra pieces and see if i can put them together. i have over 20 different pages of cardstock i am going to have a tray for each color for.
@SpanishBlueEy_487660 I was thinking of doing the same for my wife’s collaging materials but since the corners are designed for a side I’ll have to make some sort of spacer like rjorgenson. I think changing the back corners to have additional holes for this purpose would work well, and then if it were shortened it would fit in the middle of the front to widen the whole thing. Although I’m not sure if it wouldn’t bend a lot at that point.
Did you end up doing anything like that?
Came out awesome! Wish I didn't need soo many screws though, but I like the style lol
Had loads of screws.
Made paper tray.
Have no screws.
10/10 would add more shelves... if I had more screws!
I like your design, thank you very much for your effort. (edited)
This could be really useful to store my sandpaper...
This ripped into my supply of m3x10's but it looks so nice I don't care =]
I created a some spacers to help the trays fit US Letter (8.5"x11") sized paper and it worked out very well. It's posted as a remix to this model ( https://www.printables.com/model/221586-hexagon-a4-paper-tray-85x11-us-letter-spacer)
Oh and it functions very well too in addition to looking awesome!
@rjorgenson Thanks so much! Nice work on the remix too :-) It uses so many screws hey! There is something about using screws though I think, just makes things heavier and seems stronger, probably does make things stronger! Thanks for posting the awesome pics too!
