Example for the Standard package

A box with six compartments and a lid for small parts

The box and the lid

Seen from above

The lid and the compartments 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 screws, nuts, washers, rivets, electronic parts, fishing tackle or other small things, divided into compartments so nothing gets mixed up. You give the box's outside or inside size in mm, how many compartments and of what sizes, and the size of the largest item. From Standard, rounded inside corners let you slide parts out with a finger, and a lid that sits on or slides in keeps them in; in Premium the lid can turn on a hinge pin, inserts lift out and boxes stack on a shelf. Parts that fit together have 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 lettering on the box: labels go on in a slicer or as stickers. 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.
  • Compartments for partsUp to 24, equal or sized for each kind of screw or part
  • Easy to scoop outRounded inside corners from Standard, so small parts slide out
  • A lidSits on or slides in from Standard; on a hinge pin in Premium
  • Boxes that stackIn Premium, boxes that stack on a shelf or a workbench

What we need from you

What goes in the box, such as screws, nuts or electronic parts, and the size of the largest item in mm. The box's size in mm, and whether it is the outside size, e.g. to fit a shelf or a case, or the inside size. The compartments: how many, in what rows and of what sizes, or a sketch of them. The lid you want, and whether 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
  • Lid and stacking
  • Your printer and material

Questions and answers

Will small screws fall out of a closed box?

The lid sits on or slides in with a gap of 0.2-0.4 mm and holds by its fit; there is no lock or seal. Tiny parts can move between compartments if the box is turned over, so keep it upright and try it with your parts first.

Can I label the compartments?

No, the 3D model carries no lettering, logos or pictures. You can add labels in your slicer or a 3D editor, or stick them on after printing.

What if the lid is too tight or too loose?

The lid has a gap of 0.2-0.4 mm, but printers and materials differ, so print a small test piece first. If it is still tight or loose, tell us by how much and ask for a change within your package. The same goes for a box that does not fit its shelf: send the measurements.

Can I change the sizes later?

Yes: ask for a change within your package's revisions and give the new sizes in mm. The main sizes are also named numbers at the top of model.js, for anyone who works with code.

Do you print it?

No. You get the files and print the box yourself or at a print shop. We do not sell or ship anything, and we do not edit an STL you send: we build a new 3D model from your sizes.
