Recommended Print Settings: • Layer height: 0.12–0.16 mm (use a slightly higher first layer for a smoother bottom surface) • Wall thickness: 2–3 perimeters for strength • Infill: 50–100% depending on sturdiness; 100% recommended for inserts and heavy items • Supports: Not required – designed for support-free FDM printing • Print orientation: Lid flat on the bed for best fit; boxes can be printed upright or on their side • Filament: PLA or PETG; transparent filament works well for lids to view contents Tips: • Print inserts with 100% infill for stability and easy handling of tiny components • Slightly tighter tolerances may help lids fit better depending on filament shrinkage • A slightly thicker first layer improves bottom surface smoothness when printing at 0.12 mm

Designer's Description

Modular Spring (1.2mm x 8mm x 20mm) - Loaded Storage Boxes – Two Sizes + Custom Inserts

Keep your small parts neatly organized with this versatile, 3D-printable storage system! Designed for electronics hobbyists, makers, and DIY enthusiasts, these modular boxes are perfect for storing SMD components, screws, nuts, bolts, and other tiny parts.

##
Features:

## Two sizes included – perfect for both medium and very small components. More sizes may be added if there’s demand!
## Printable inserts – ideal for SMD resistors, capacitors, ICs, and other tiny components to keep them separated and easily accessible.
## Spring-loaded lids – open smoothly and close securely. Lids can be printed in transparent filament for easy identification or labeled for quick reference.
## Modular design – boxes interlock, so you can expand and customize your storage layout as your collection grows.
## FDM-friendly – fully optimized for 3D printing with no supports required and simple assembly.

BUY:

## Any spring around 20 mm long and 7–9 mm in diameter will work for this design. I personally prefer the 1.2 mm thread resistance on the lid—it provides a satisfying snap and ensures it stays securely closed. I’ve also tried 0.8 mm threads , which still hold the lid shut, but the closing doesn’t have the same tactile snap.

This system combines functionality, flexibility, and a touch of fun—perfect for anyone who works with small components and wants their workspace tidy, efficient, and customizable. Whether you’re a PCB tinkerer, electronics enthusiast, or just need a practical way to organize tiny parts, these boxes are built to make your life easier.
