These containers are great! Four of them fit right across the width of a standard board game box. Way better than plastic token bags.
Interlocking Sorting Cups (Square Shape)
Square-shaped cups that can be interlocked, allowing customized multi-cup trays for sorting stuff, e.g. board game bits.

Neat design and I like the test model with the bottom bumps. Are you willing to provide files for all sizes with bottom bumps, too?
@JonLB_1301502 Hi Jon! No, I don't think I will add add another 100-something files with this feature. But if you can tell me which sizes you have in mind, I can see what I can do.
Alternatively, please do feel free to remix.
However, how well these bumps work is very dependent on the type of filament and how well the printer dialed in. And it's very hard to test without printing the actual model. Results with smaller test models don't necessary translate well to bigger ones. That's why I never followed up on this idea.
These are awesome! I really love GameTrayz double container, which two of the triangle prints would be the same. I'm currenly printing them at 125% since they're a little smaller that I like, hoping it doesn't mess up the interlocking system. But we'll see!
This has got to be one of my favorite builds of all time. It’s simple, yet extremely functional and well-developed. I wanted to show a photo of me holding it to demonstrate how good the connecting joints are. No supports needed on the print. Solid model and will be printing more.
I've already printed like 40 of these and more are comming! Great way to present a 3D model with the test pieces! It's just wonderful! <3 <3 Much love. (edited)
Absolutely brilliant! The inclusion of the joint test models let me dial in the joints perfectly. They are ideal for board games. Now printing a few more variations.
I printed maybe a dozen of these a couple of years ago, and must have deleted the STL's. I spent over an hour trying to find these again, was totally worth the effort. Gonna start printing more of these, much appreciation on sharing the designs! I might print some of these for gifts, they are so awesome. I keep a few in my portable tool bag for when I have to disassemble stuff. (edited)
I love these, I've printed a ton of them and I use them in games and in all sorts of organizing tasks.
Without lids, the bottoms nest firmly into the top of the other containers. I like printing them out of PETG, they feel more substantial, and the lids feel better, but I haven't damaged the PLA ones yet either.
They are very practical, so I print them as a test when I make any changes to the printer or profiles.
Very nice boxes. Still have to bring a couple more, but started with 2 to test :-)
