In the past I have created some boxes for different types of modelling paints to fit neatly which were designed to be stacked on top of each other. But recently someone asked me to develope a generic design that can be used with the other boxes and stacked with them.
I have kept the foot print of these designs but with a flat intenal surface, these designs come in several different intenal heights. I have done an internal height of 40mm, 60mm and 80mm. The internal dimesion is 150mm x 150mm and the external dimension is 160mm x 160mm.
The origonal idea was to create a universal tray for each type of paint that can be stored on top of each other. The size of the tray has been designed to be 160mm x 160mm and will therefore fit on most FDM printers. The lid has also been designed to be printed inverted so the build plate pattern will be on top of the lid enhancing to look.The chequered effect on the base and the top of the lid also helps with reducing the chance of warping when printing.
The example in the pictures was printed on a Bambu Labs A1 FDM Printer (0.4mm Nozzle, 0.2mm layer height).This design is best printed on an FDM printer (filament).
I am creating holders for manufacturers like Humbrol, RailMatch, Revel, Phoenix, etc I will add links below. Please drop me a message if I have missed anything that you would like me to add. All the holders from all the manufacturers will be designed to be stacked together in the same 160mm x 160mm box but with varying heights. All designs are tested before sharing online.

I recommend 3DLAC Spray to help secure the print to the print bed whilst printing, it also helps release the print after printing has finished.https://amzn.to/4cxPybm (Amazon)
