I've been keeping my printer busy with stuff for my model bench. I printed out a bunch of Gridfinity 1x1 bins with holes varying from 8mm to 44mm. I wanted to see the best sizes for various bottles (Paint, Glue, etc.). I have several Ikea Alex drawer units for which I am currently printing Gridfinity grids.
My goal is to create a modular system for my workbench so I can easily reconfigure it to the task at hand. Customizable configurations for Building, Hand Painting, Airbrushing, Soldering, Photo Etch work, etc...
If you are unfamiliar with Gridfinity, it is a 3D printable and infinitely customizable organization system. I have visions of creating various Gridfinity compatible "bins" specifically for modelers. There are already quite a few modeling-related Gridinfinity models available; however, they aren't a "system."

This video by the inventor of Gridfinity will give you a good idea of the concept.
This is a picture of a Gridfinity grid in one of the drawers of an Ikea Alex. There are also some bins I printed to hold my airbrush clips, some syringes and pipettes.
These are some of the 1x1 bins I printed with different hole sizes.
Some Gridfinity bins I printed to hold various sizes of M3 bolts which are commonly used to assemble complex 3D prints.
I also printed a bracket to hold my Proxxon transformer out of the way under my bench.

And a mount to hold a box of Kleenex Towels, which I keep handy on the bench. Now they won't take up precious real estate on the bench.

3D printing is fun. If you are sitting on the fence about getting a 3D printer, do it; you won't regret it.
PS: This is a really good model for a glue bottle holder. In your slicer software, you can combine these to form 2, 3, and 4 bottle holders. I prefer the sloped design to the traditional flat designs you typically see. Model on Makerworld
