Impressive design.
The walls of my bins are a bit fragile even with PETG.
I'll use more perimeters for the next build.
Thanks!
Super fun design (feat. rocktopus photobomb)
A small storage octagon, perfect for my ever increasing collection of screws. I found this model thanks to Zack Freedman!

Printed in Cold Fusion Blue and Tritium Green
Finally, somewhere convenient to hold my 3D printing accessories!

I haven't 3D printed much since I first got my printer, but thanks to Zach Freedman's YouTube video, I found 3D printy and have a bunch of cool things to make now!

(printed in hatchbox black PLA and crudely painted peppermint colors because I like the way it looks, please excuse the poor paint job)
I love printing things that actually have a purpose. This is awesome for storing project specific parts. I'll probably make the large one next
Printed the medium one in PETG. Lid works much better after a bit of lubricant, but otherwise, all the pieces fit very well. Love it, nicely done!

is there a hero to modify this to fit in empty spools? would be the most premium empty spool reuse

I edited the "stackable_cap_special_lid.stl" to remove the stacking cutout and made the hole on the inside bigger to reduce material used while printing - is there anywhere I can upload this as a remix for anyone that would like to use it?

can someone list the parts needed for a small box?

Will this model easily scale? Or would there be some geometry i should be aware of? Like, can i just fire up prusaslicer and kick everything up to 125% size? i should clarrify my intentions... i was hoping to scale up the "small" variant so that the boxes could hold MTG decks, which are 100mm x 70mm and different depths based on game format... commander would be 100 cards so about 65mm, whereas standard formats would be 50mm.

Edit: The scale i'd need to fit MTG decks is nearly 250% on the small. Any chance you plan to make another rolling storage box in the future? perhaps a short a stubby version with card deck sized containers? :-P

It should scale okay, but the magnet holes will, of course, have some extra space in them. A strong glue will keep them in place anyway. If you scale to the point where filament can no longer be a good hinge, substitute it with wire or 3D print an appropriately sized cylinder (lay the cylinder flat on the bed and sink it in slightly so it has plenty of surface contact). Good luck!

I have printed a large and small version. very useful. great prints. Thanks for the designs!

I'm using this as a dice container so I used the Medium Storage bin but I scaled it up to 150 percent and it works awesome.

That's a great use for it! Thanks for printing!

Hi I printed the medium core (stackable) and the cap(stackable) and even when i twist as tight as possible, the alignment between the top and bottom is off by about 1/8. (aka the slots for the end piece dont line up.) any solutions?

3D P

Depending on the filament, some of my prints were tighter than others. In all cases, I was able to work the lid back and forth to smooth out the threads until it could go far enough.

People have commented elsewhere that using hot water also helps with softening the threads until they gently move into place. I haven't had to try this myself, but this solution was successful for multiple people.

You also might be able to use a lubricant like silicone oil until the threads loosen up from use. I hope one of these options works for you!

Awesome thank you for the tips! ill give it a try and see if my print quality is better!

3D P

I'm glad you got it working!

There are a lot of factors that go into print quality, but before I dive too far into that I think it's fair to say that prints usually look better in photos and videos than they do in person - unless you're looking at extreme closeups.

I print with 0.2mm layer heights using a 0.4mm nozzle. I actually find that printing with smaller nozzles or thinner layer heights can look worse for some designs - what's really important for me is consistent and even extrusion. Layer lines only bother me when they're wobbly and inconsistent.

Here are some factors that work for me

  • I print quite slow
  • I use medium-to-high quality filament (I save cheaper stuff is for prototypes)
  • I use up open rolls of filament as quickly as I can so they have zero chance to absorb moisture
  • When trying out a new filament (even just a new color of a brand I already use) I pay close attention to nozzle temperature and adjust accordingly.
  • Related to that, I print on the cooler end of the listed temperature range (but not so cool as to hurt layer adhesion or cause clogs)
  • I obsess over first layers and will cancel a print if the first few layers don't look nearly perfect
  • Unless printing PETG, I print closer to the bed than most people. You can get away with that easier if you have a textured PEI sheet
  • I use a brim most of the time, even if it's not really necessary, just to make sure I don't get any curling

All of my printers (Sidewinder X1, Prusa, Daedalus) are direct drives, which helps with consistent extrusion, but that also means that you need to print slightly slower to avoid ringing. For me, this is worth the tradeoff and I'll often lower printing speeds just because I don't need a part right away.

I hope some of this helps!

got it working after a bit of sanding! But question, how do u get your prints to have such smooth and solid finishes? Im fairly new to 3D printing and own an Ender 3. Even when i up the quality of the print to 1mm, it comes out with a grain (like i can visibly see and feel the lines) Maybe a youtube video on the pre and post process that goes into making ur box?

Can this be used in resin printer?

3D P
3DPrinty

I haven't tested this yet, but if you have a very strong ABS-like resin, it should work. Of course you'd still need filament, or something about the same size, for the hinges.

I love this print. Not going to lie, much like the person beneath me, I also didn't clock that one cap fits all for a little bit:) It's a really wonderful print, and the small sections are great for using up end of roll filament . thank you!

3D P

Glad you like it! Yes, it's a good option for finishing rolls and you end up with a cool end product that showcases lots of filament colors!
