Introducing a versatile and customizable 3D printable storage box I designed specifically for filament samples. This sturdy box can also be used to store a variety of small items, making it an excellent addition to your 3D printing projects. The fully parametric Fusion360 design allows you to modify dimensions, the number of compartments, and other design parameters to suit your needs.
Browse the provided models and example prints to create a storage box with the exact size and dimensions as shown in the photos.
To print the model as displayed, you will need the following materials:
