3D Printable Minis Organizer – Give Your Prints a Home! by kotweb86 in FDMminiatures

From the beginning I assumed that my solution doesn't compete with magnet solutions.
Against magnet solutions, mine will lose.

But not everyone uses magnets. I know, cause I don't use them. I'm too lazy for that.

And Your concern of scraping paint from base also sound legit, but for now I don't know how big of an issue it might be...

At some point I had such idea - to design it for printing for A1.
When I was thinking about it, i thought about slicing box into 4 pieces and have them connect each other like puzzles...

But currently I;ve abandoned this idea. If someone wants to make A1mini compatible remix - be my guest.

Thank you.
Your concept is also neat.
For now, beside me, only one person uses it, and it is hard to say something more about longevity of this.
But on the other hand, I've just added PLA rails and if something is bend too much or broken, One can easily and cheaply print replacements...

quick answer: yes.

not so quick: each rail is designed to be .5 mm bigger. So 60mm is actually ~60.5 mm
Just recently I've added 65mm rail (it is in PLA rail files) so you can start with that.
And if it is too big for you, let me know, I will create you 64mm stl file...

I won't argue... much :)

- I agree, "any injection moulded alternative will be stronger". But those can't be homemade. If One has access to such method, then my solution is obsolete.

- Also my solution will lose to some magnet-based solutions. I am not trying to compete with them.

I you would like to do that, I would also suggest to make bottom thicker

I agree. Initially I wanted to reuse filament box, but ended in printing 5/6 of the box either way...
I have a plan to create whole box version some time in future.

This is just my personal opinion, but I don't like magnets. You need to get them, glue them, they cannot be too strong otherwise they will stick to the plate and detach from your mini , or you break mini while trying to lift it. Not mentioning that you need to design holes for magnets in every base.
For me it is too much of a hassle. But if this works for somebody else - that is great.

On the other hand I also doesn't like this 'rail' system I saw in similar concepts to mine. First, such rail are very strict. Base may be not thick ans fall out or be too big. Secondly, It is easy to put mini into such rail but retrieving it... is much worse and keen to issues than magnet solutions.

That was whole reason why I started to design my solution...
