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 an insert that fills a drawer and divides it into compartments: for cutlery, office supplies, tools, cables, make-up or odds and ends. You give the drawer's inside length, width and height in mm, how much room to leave around the insert so it drops in, and how to divide it: equal cells or the sizes you give, with a sketch if you have one. You get a ZIP archive: STL and 3MF to print, OBJ, GLB, a DXF outline seen from above, the code with the sizes at the top, a README with printing advice and pictures from four sides. Walls are at least 1.2 mm. From Standard, rounded inside corners make small things easy to pick out; in Premium up to 4 parts, so a drawer larger than your printer can be split into trays. No labels on the cells: add them in a slicer or stick them on. We do not print or ship inserts.

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. Several trays lie side by side, ready to print separately.

How it works

1. 1
   Measure the drawerYou send its inside size in mm and the layout of the cells
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 check the sizes in the pictures and the README and print a test piece
4. 4
   ChangesYou send what to change, with measurements, within your package

What we need from you

The drawer's inside length, width and height in mm, measured at the bottom, and anything in the way, such as runners, a handle screw or rounded corners. How much room to leave around the insert. What goes in, and the layout you want: how many cells, in what rows and of what sizes, or a sketch. The longest and tallest things that go in, such as scissors or a ruler. Whether some cells need a lid or trays should stack. The build area of your printer, so we know whether to split the insert, and the material, if you know it.

We will ask you:

• The drawer's inside size, in mm
• What goes in?
• The layout of the cells
• Your printer's build area
