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 for one or several decks of cards: playing cards, a collectible card game or flash cards for learning. Each deck gets its own slot, sized to the card and the stack, with a finger notch so the cards lift out easily. You give the card's width and height and each deck's thickness in mm, measured in sleeves if you use them, since sleeves change the sizes a lot. From Standard there is a lid that sits on or slides in; in Premium a lid on a hinge pin, extra slots for dice or counters and boxes that stack. The lid has a gap of 0.2-0.4 mm and walls are at least 1.2 mm. You get a ZIP archive: STL and 3MF to print, OBJ, GLB, a DXF outline, the code with the sizes at the top, a README with printing advice and pictures from four sides. No game logos, art or lettering on the box. We do not print or ship boxes.

What is included

• What you getA ZIP archive with model.stl and model.3mf for 3D printing, model.obj for 3D editors, model.glb for viewing on the web and in augmented reality, outline.dxf with the outline seen from above for CAD and laser cutting, model.js with the main sizes as named numbers at the top, a README with printing advice and 4 PNG pictures of the 3D model from four sides, also shown on the order page. The box, the lid and the inserts lie side by side, ready to print separately.

How it works

1. 1
   Measure the cardsYou measure a card and each deck's thickness, in sleeves if you use them
2. 2
   3D modelWe build the 3D model and check that it is a closed solid of the sizes you asked for
3. 3
   CheckYou print a test piece and try a deck in its slot
4. 4
   ChangesYou send what to change, with measurements, within your package

What we need from you

The card's width and height in mm and each deck's thickness, measured in sleeves if you use them; a caliper helps with the thickness. How many decks, and whether they are all the same size. Whether you want room for more cards later, and how much. Anything else in the box, such as dice, counters or a rules leaflet, with their sizes. The lid you want: none, sits on, slides in or on a hinge pin, and whether boxes should stack. The material, if you know it.

We will ask you:

• The card size, in mm
• How many decks, and how thick?
• Anything else in the box?
• The lid
