This modular storage tray is designed for fast and efficient 3D printing using vase mode. The tray prints quickly with minimal filament usage while providing a practical solution for organizing small items such as screws, bolts, beads, electronic components, or workshop hardware.

Multiple trays can be combined to create a custom layout suited to your workspace, tool bench, or craft area.

Features

Modular tray design for customizable layoutsOptimized for vase mode printing to reduce print time and filament usageLightweight yet practical for small parts organizationSuitable for workshops, hobby desks, electronics benches, and craft stationsTrays can be glued together for permanent modular configurationsScalable design allows resizing to suit different storage needs

Technical Details

Designed for vase mode (Spiralize Outer Contour) printingRecommended nozzle size: 0.6 mmLayer height: 0.23 mmTop layers: 0Bottom layers: 3Recommended PLA temperature: 200–210°CRecommended bed temperature: 50–60°C

With the settings above, trays will typically have a slightly loose fit which is suitable for users who prefer gluing modules together. Increasing extrusion flow slightly (around 105%) can produce a tighter fit between trays.

The model can also be scaled to adjust tray size depending on the intended use.
