Tapered Hair Tie Stand
Created 3 months ago
Description
A vertical organizer designed to hold and sort hair ties and scrunchies. The central post tapers from a wide 50mm base to a 25mm top over a 150mm height, providing a natural resting structure where larger ties settle at the bottom and smaller ones stay near the top. A thick 110mm wide base provides a low center of gravity to prevent the stand from tipping over during use.
Features and print recommendations:
- Tapered post geometry distributes elastic bands by size.
- Rounded top edge prevents snagging and wear on fabric.
- Broad footprint ensures stability on bathroom vanities or dressers.
- Recommend printing the base layers with high density infill for additional physical weight.

Bento-Style Parts Tray
A clean, symmetrical storage tray evoking the balanced proportions of a bento box. It splits the footprint evenly into two generous bays, keeping tools and components strictly separated but immediately accessible. Design Notes Built with stout 3 mm walls for shop-floor durability. Swept interior corners mean small parts slide out smoothly instead of getting trapped in the seams. Designed with a perfectly flat base and zero overhangs for a seamless print.
10-Slot Pill Bottle Organizer
What it's for A multi-compartment organizational tray specifically sized for standard pill bottles, arranged in a 2x5 grid. Designed to keep bottles upright and securely separated. Dimensions Compartments: 10 slots, each 1.5 × 1.5 inches (38.1 × 38.1 mm). Height: 2 inches (50.8 mm) deep to prevent tipping. Overall footprint: ~8.0 × 3.2 inches (202.5 × 82.2 mm). Print notes Standard 2 mm outer walls and internal dividers provide solid rigidity. Prints flat on its base. No supports required. Inner corners feature a slight 2 mm radius to make retrieving bottles easier.
Split 13-Inch Slip Box
A simple, cleanly split rectangular enclosure meeting a 3" × 1" × 13" outer footprint. Designed to print standing vertically on the build plate, the two halves meet in the middle with a sliding half-lap joint that handles alignment and friction. Remix Hooks The source relies on a few key parameters that dictate the fit and feel. If you pull this into a remix, check these first: Dimensions: Currently W = 76.2, D = 25.4, and L = 172.6 (for each half, achieving the 330.2mm total length). Tweak these to fit whatever board or gear you are housing. Wall: Set to 3mm. This gives enough meat for the half-lap cut (leaving 1.5mm walls at the joint) without feeling overly bulky. Clearance: The joint runs a comfortable 0.4mm tolerance. Tighten it to 0.2mm if your printer is dialed in and you want a semi-permanent friction fit, or loosen it if it binds. Lip Length: The 15mm overlap keeps the assembled box rigid, but dropping it to 8-10mm would save a bit of plastic if the contents don't flex.
Side-Pinned 40-Quarter Dispenser
A gravity-fed mechanical magazine for standard U.S. quarters. The vertical tube stores up to 36 coins, while a sliding escapement mechanism stages and drops exactly four quarters ($1) per full pull. Design and Fitment Capacity: 40 quarters maximum (36 in the tube, 4 seated in the slider). Clearances: The magazine bore is 25.2 mm (oversized from the 24.26 mm quarter) to prevent binding, with a 28.8 mm x 7.6 mm slider track for horizontal travel. Structural Details: The base of the primary magazine tube features a 4 mm flared buttress, preventing shear failure across the layer lines when fully loaded. Hardware: Fully printed, no external fasteners or springs required. The side-mounted 4.0 mm stopper pin captures the slider in the track and sets the 26 mm travel limit.
VoltGrid — Print-in-Place Battery Case
A high-capacity, print-in-place storage case holding 104 AA batteries in a skeletal, material-saving grid. Designed specifically for FDM printing without supports. Features Zero Assembly: Prints flat with a fully integrated, captive 45-degree cone hinge mechanism. Just pop it off the bed and fold it closed. Skeletal Organizer: The lower grid provides 0.4 mm of clearance for 14.5 mm diameter AA batteries, but uses open walls to drastically cut filament usage and print time compared to solid block designs. Snap Latch: A flexible cantilever tab locks the lid securely down over a heavy chamfered ledge on the bottom box. Dimensions Flat Printing Footprint: 228 mm × 292 mm Closed Dimensions: 228 mm (W) × 142 mm (D) × 60 mm (H) Capacity: 104 cells (13 × 8 grid)
104-Cell AA Battery Vault
This heavy-duty grid vault keeps 104 AA cells locked down and separated. The front closure uses a single wide flex-arm cantilever built straight into the lid. It swings down to snap automatically over a retaining ledge on the base, holding the lid firmly shut until you pull the finger grip outward. Clearance: 0.4 mm gap on all latch and hinge mechanisms Lid Mechanism: Print-in-place folded hinge Print Layout: Prints fully open and flat on the bed
