I have made a 2 cell box for crochet needles, and several 8 cell box for beads. I also made a small proof of concept box that will hold 9 printer nozzles. (Details for these boxes can be seen in the json file - which may be downloaded here but must be renamed to remove the “.txt” {Printables doesn't allow .json files}  and placed in the same directory as you install my OpenSCAD file.)

The only limits are the size of your printer and your imagination.

Slicing note

The hinge area should be solid - in PrusaSlicer set "solid infill threshold area" to 1000mm (see my 3MF file).
