Overview

Organize your SMD components with this parametric, snappable storage system. Features ESD-safe construction and a color-coded paper insert system for quick component identification.

Features

Snappable design - boxes connect together for modular storage
Unit system - different sizes of boxes snap together seamlessly
Parametric - tweak it, break it, make it yours - no guarantees if you do
ESD-safe - print body and lids in PETG-ESD for full static protection
Color-coded inserts - 3D printable inserts included, but paper is easier (14mm x 12mm)

Print Settings

Layer height: 0.2mm
Lids: Print right side down (vertical) for ideal springiness of lock mechanism
Lids wall width: 0.33mm recommended - gives more than outside walls only, which may debond
Filament on photos: Fiberon™ PETG-ESD
First layer: 290°C, bed 80°C
Other layers: 270°C, bed 70°C
Rest identical to regular PETG

Assembly

Insert filament into hinge and seal with soldering iron (flat tip recommanded)
Hinge area may crack with ESD filament - remelting is recommended
Make sure to respect width of the hinge area when melting
Do it while open to maintain pretension

Recommended Materials

Box body & lid: PETG-ESD (electrostatic discharge safe)
Lid inserts: Colored paper (14mm x 12mm) with black text/background
Hardware boxes: Whatever you have on hand. Beware that snapping system may be too stiff with PLA.

Color Coding System

🔴 Red - MOSFETs, Transistors (ESD sensitive)
🔵 Blue - ICs, Voltage Regulators
🟡 Yellow - Capacitor
🟢 Green - LEDs
🟣 Purple - Diodes, TVS/ESD Protection
⚫ White (black bg) - Resistors, Potentiometers
⚪ White - Buttons, Headers, Fuses, Relays

Label Format

(3 lines, ~8 char max)

10kΩ [1002] 0805 1%

Notes

Model uses basic tolerances of 0.2mm
Holds 0805 and bigger parts well
Single resistors may escape when flipped - do not recommend flipping
Bigger boxes are on the way - design may change to address issues with pretension and sealing
