A box with six compartments and a lid for small parts

The box and the lid

Seen from above

Size: the box is 120 × 80 × 40 mm and the lid 125 × 85 × 10 mm. Both are printed side by side. Files:

• model.stl and model.3mf;
• model.obj, model.glb and outline.dxf;
• model.js, with the outside size, the number of compartments and the wall thickness as named numbers;
• a README.

The README says the lid has a 0.3 mm gap so it slides on easily, and both parts print without supports.

Client: someone sorting screws, nuts and washers in a workshop drawer. Task: a box of 120 × 80 × 40 mm with 2 × 3 compartments with rounded inside corners, so small parts are easy to pick out, and a lid that sits on it.

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

A 3D model of a box, a container or a drawer insert to print, made to your sizes: for screws and small hardware, jewellery, cards, game pieces, craft supplies or the inside of a drawer. Tell us the outside or inside size in mm, the compartments and their sizes, and the lid you want. You get a ZIP archive: STL and 3MF files to print, OBJ for 3D editors, GLB to view it on the web, a DXF outline seen from above, the code with the main sizes at the top, a README with printing advice and pictures from four sides, also shown on the order page. A box, its lid and inserts lie side by side, ready to print separately, with a gap of 0.2-0.4 mm where they fit together; walls are at least 1.2 mm. The 3D model carries no lettering or pictures: labels can be added in your slicer. We do not print, sell or ship boxes; tell us your printer's build area if the box is large.

What is included

What we need from you

What the box is for and what goes in it. Its size in mm, and whether that is the outside size, e.g. to fit a drawer, or the inside size, e.g. to hold cards. The compartments: how many, in what layout and of what sizes, or a sketch of them. The size of the largest thing that goes in, if it matters. The lid you want and whether the boxes should stack. The build area of your printer if the box is large, and the material, if you know it.

We will ask you:

• What goes in the box?
• Its size in mm, outside or inside
• The compartments
• The lid, and should boxes stack?
• Your printer and material
