I hope this is allowed. I made myself a rack for some of my stones. But the old measure twice, build once bit me in the butt. I was thinking I was sizing it to fit my Kuromaku stones too. But I shanked it. And it will only fit stones that are 13mm or less thick. It has 8 slots. It's free for anyone that wants it. You'd just have to pay for shipping. In the US. It's around $5 through Shippo, or Pirate Ship.
I can share the file. I'm printing one now that's 4 karumaku sized slots, and 4 rockstar sized. I'll share it here tomorrow. This one got snapped up so I need to get it boxed and ready to go out tomorrow.
Awesome, thanks!
Sharing would be great.👍✌️
What size do you need? Here's the link for this one. https://drive.google.com/file/d/16xJIcm95Tt3nisIqTCYTWvpuIKGmjb5h/view?usp=sharing
Thanks!! I would send this to my friend, but I would increase the spacing a little since I don't own any Shapton Glass stones myself, but I do have stones like Shapton Pro, Arashiyama, Kitayama, Suehiro, etc., and I'm already looking for a decent stone rack.
I love my rockstar stone and id love to grow my collection just to have an excuse to use something like this lol. Honestly my shapton 1000 could probably fit one of the slots, its my workhorse for personal knives and customers so its got a good bit of wear
Thanks. It's gone. I'm glad it didn't go to waste. If anyone wants the file, I shared it in this thread. If you would like one that fits bigger stones, let me know. I can adjust the file. There is a drain hole at the bottom of each slot, and frustums to lift the stone up so it can dry out better. Happy to share on Makerworld or Printables too.
Is this 3d printed? Im not sure if im seeing layer lines in that photo. Would you be willing to share the file if it is?
It is 100% 3D printed
Yep. Sure is. I have some I did in wood too. I like trying different things.
I put it on my Google Drive. No clue if you can even share files on Reddit.

Youre so real for sharing the files
Nice!
Wow, that’s beautiful for just shipping costs. Too bad for myself cuz I’ve got a bunch of normal thickness stones 😞
What's normal thickness? In mm. I can make another file.
Mmm 😳😳, they’re a variety of stones 1-1.5” thick, like a rika 5k, naniwa 8k, morihei 12k, etc.
Okay. I have some of those to get measurements from as well. I WISH I had some Morihei's. But I had to put myself on stone buying restriction. 😞 I'll share that one when I get it done too.
Do you want this for thicker stones? I had the version adapted for 3 mm thick stones.
I’ll take it if it’s still available!
It's gone. I shared a link to the file in this thread though if you want to print it, or have it printed.
Nice give back to the community. Kudos to you.
Okay. Here's a link to a folder with 3 different STL files. Up to 13mm thick, 13mm-17mm (4 each), and 27mm. They have legs to allow airflow around the stones. So do a cut at 10mm high so no supports are needed.
