Spaced to fit around IC3D filament spools. I only drew up one orientation for the trays, but you can mirror them in your slicer along the X or Y axis to make the other side.

You might need to clear the pivot hole with a 11/64 drill bit before it'll fit easily. You'll also need to drill out the holes in the spools with the same bit. I used 8x3mm magnets to keep the trays closed. Most fit snugly just by pushing, but a few needed a dab of super glue to stay in place.

Finally, and this is totally optional, you can use a spare adhesive magnetic sheet that comes with new build plates to create a surface on the top that will hold your hooks and jigs in place. This is a little cooler in theory than in practice, because not all fishing hardware is made from magnetic metals.

Hardware:

4- #8 allthread

8- #8 lock nuts

#8 washers to go between trays in the same spool

8x3mm magnets to keep the trays closed.

 

By the way, this doesn't have to be a tackle box. You can use it for a sewing organizer or anything else that might need a lot of little trays.
