Modular Storage Box System for workshop

Keeping a workshop organized can be a challenge, especially when you have a growing collection of small tools, screws, nuts, bolts, and other accessories. This 3D printed modular storage box system is designed to solve that problem with a smart, customizable, and space-saving solution. Whether you are a maker, hobbyist, or simply someone who loves to keep things tidy, these modular boxes are the perfect addition to your workspace.

Why choose a 3D printed modular storage system?

Traditional storage solutions often force you to adapt your workflow to the available containers. With this 3D printed container system, you have complete freedom to build as large or as small a storage setup as you need. Since the modules are printed by you, they can be easily duplicated, stacked, or expanded whenever your workshop grows.

The design focuses on practicality:

• Snap-fit system — no glue or screws required.

• Durable and tight-fitting joints.

• Optimized for easy 3D printing with common materials.

It’s more than just a box — it’s a 3D printed workshop organization project that adapts to your needs.

Printing recommendations

This modular storage box system has been tested with PLA and other low-shrinkage filaments. PLA is highly recommended for its dimensional stability, ease of printing, and good surface finish.

To make sure your print comes out perfectly, we suggest:

• Filling: 20%

• Fill type: Any (grid, gyroid, cubic – depending on your slicer preference)

• Walls: At least 2–3 perimeters for durability

• Layer height: 0.2 mm recommended

👉 Before starting a full print, use the included test part (print two of them) to check tolerances. This will allow you to see if modules fit together without excessive force.

Dimensions

The default module inside dimensions are:

• Width: 60 mm / 2.36 in

• Height: 60 mm / 2.36 in

• Length: 60 mm / 2.36 in

These dimensions are perfect for screws, electronics components, craft supplies, or any small parts you want to keep organized. Of course, since this is a 3D printed design, you can also scale the STL files to fit your personal needs.

What’s included

When you download this project, you’ll get:

• STL files for modular containers

• A test file to ensure proper fit before full printing

Everything is packed in a ZIP file, ready to load into your favorite slicer software.

How to use the 3D printed boxes

1. Print the test part and check the fit.

2. Print as many modular boxes as you need.

3. Snap modules together to build a larger storage system.

4. Start organizing your workshop in a smart and modular way.

Since these boxes lock tightly into place, there is no need for glue, screws, or extra hardware. You can expand your system anytime by simply printing more modules.

Perfect for makers and hobbyists

This 3D printed modular storage box system is not just practical, but also fun to make. It’s an ideal weekend project for anyone who enjoys 3D printing and wants to improve their workshop organization.

Makers who deal with electronics, RC models, 3D printer spare parts, or even arts and crafts will find these boxes useful. Thanks to the modular design, your storage can grow together with your projects.

License and usage

What you can do:

• Print the STL files as many times as you want.

• Modify the design for your personal use.

What you can’t do:

• Sell the STL files.

• Sell printed versions as your own product.

• Share the files directly with third parties (please share the store link instead).

This ensures that the design stays free for personal use, while still protecting the creator’s work.

Summary

If you’re looking for a practical and customizable workshop storage solution, this 3D printed modular storage box system is the answer. Easy to print, easy to assemble, and expandable to any size, it’s the perfect addition to your maker space.
