Sometimes all you need is a sturdy box in the right size, and this option is here for you. In addition to the box sizes shown in the image above, you can modify the provided Fusion 360 model to fit your exact needs. Besides the box itself, the designer provided several additional files for modular internal compartments for items like batteries, MicroSD cards, and nozzles.

The designer also mentions that you’ll need six 20-30 mm screws to assemble the toolbox. Another interesting recommendation from the designer is to place a small piece of foam in the lid to ensure everything stays in place during transportation. The author has shallow and insert-free versions of this box that are worth checking out as well.

Do you dream of a fully customizable and modular toolbox that’s easy to take with you on the go? This set of models by Michal Fanta may just make your dreams come true.

As a modular, stackable system with a variety of components, you can make a toolbox that’s exactly what you need to tackle any occasion. These boxes were designed to be printed on the Prusa i3 MKS2, 3, and 4 printers, so any printer larger than that should be able to handle the job easily.

The modular models include a hollow stackable box in three different sizes, a set of drawers, and double- and single-cantilever boxes that open to display your tools nicely. The modules can be stacked and latched together, creating a single system. There are also crates and miniature versions of the modules available.

All models use metal pins or M3 screws for the joints and other moving parts, ensuring the box’s durability. PLA and PETG seem to be the most praised materials in the comments. It’s worth noting that precision is important here to avoid stressing the parts during assembly and use.

If you already have a lot of boxes but are on the hunt for something special, we’ve got a creative option for you. The lid of this toolbox unfolds and folds back when closed or opened just like origami. The design includes a lock that works by interlocking two small tabs to keep it in position. No screws or additional parts are needed for the joints; everything is 3D printed.

The creator of this design says it also works with resin printing, but be sure to choose the designated files and review the instructions given by the maker. For FDM printing, the author suggests 30% infill and support everywhere for just the lid pieces. It’s not recommended to scale the model down more than 80% of the original size to avoid weak hinges. If you’re considering this as a gift, be sure to check out the heart-shaped version of this model by the same author.

For printing settings, the designer recommends a layer height between 0.2-0.3 mm and 20% infill for bulkier parts. For joints and other weight-bearing parts, it’s highly recommended to use 4 to 10 wall layers.

The variety of screw and bit types out there can be a real challenge for anyone who likes to keep things organized.
