Simple dispenser box for kimwipes with sliding lid. Box has slot for lid to slide in. The lid has dimples that snap into holes on the box to hold it in place more securely, though just friction alone seemed enough in my first iteration I still added them for extra hold strength.
The lid also has an inset carved out area underneath so you can glue or tape a lint guard, either the one that comes with the original kimwipes box or just DIY one out of some thin plastic bag like a ziplock bag. This area gives enough clearance to tape the lint guard without interfering with the lid sliding in and out.
I made it so it fits only the kimwipes once removed from their original box so if you want to fit the whole box in there you'll need to scale it up a bit.
Print settings (bold = important):
10% infill is more than enough for this, could probably go down a bit more.
2 wall loops (didn't try anything else but this worked fine)
No supports needed (see below)
Print the lid upside down (flip it in slicer)
As far as not needing supports is concerned, while the filleted edge that slides into the box slot (and that slot itself) has an overhang even if some lines droop it doesn't matter, this part spends most of its life hidden so you can just remove stringy bits if they bother you. In fact the droop may or may not help give the lid extra friction. Whether you like that or not or whether it works for you or not will depend on you and your printer. Feel free to use supports if you want, if you do I'd love to hear about the results.
The project file has parametric variables for most measurements, I haven't tested how far they'll go before things break so be careful and double check if you're going to change values. I made the included model taller than needed just so the lid slides in without having to press down on wipes. The lid clearance is also parametric. You may or may not need to change this based on your nozzle. Mine was a 0.4 mm. Again, this may break some commands.
