Film Slide Tray

These are simple containers used to store 35mm mounted slides. I've included different sizes depending on how many slides should be able to fit inside.

I chose 35 as the minimum because that's a pretty typical number of exposures for a single roll of film, and 140 as the maximum because that's a typical number used in a slide projector carousel (35x4=140).

This should print pretty easily with most materials. I used PETG to avoid issues with warping on PLA, especially since the dimensions are pretty tight.

How I Designed This ===================

I measured a typical mounted slide with calipers, finding that a single slide has a width of 1.2mm, but later discovered that this was a bit too tight to represent the stacked thickness, so I'm using 1.325mm as the calculated thickness per slide. This number was derived from the average thickness of a stack of 20 slides.

The walls are a bit thicker than they could be, for strength.
