Build Tray Push-In Project Status Tabs

Build Tray Push-In Project Status Tabs

A set of interchangeable push-in labels designed for the side slots beside the handles on the original Build Tray.

The tabs make it easy to colour-code trays and identify the status of each project at a glance. They push securely into place, require no glue or tools, and can be swapped whenever a project moves to another stage.

Included files

The pack includes one blank tab and ten labelled versions:

• Active Project

• Next Project

• In Progress

• Ready to Start

• Ready to Finish

• Almost Done

• On Hold

• Waiting for Parts

• Needs Testing

• Completed

STL files are included for direct printing, along with STEP files for editing or creating custom labels.

Features

• Secure push-in fit

• No glue or tools required

• Easy to remove and replace

• Ideal for colour coding

• Print only the labels you need

• Small and fast to print

Minimal material usage

Each tab uses approximately 2 g of filament and takes around 5 minutes to print using the tested settings.

The complete set of ten uses approximately:

• 19.4 g of filament

• 53 minutes of print time

Actual results will vary depending on printer, material and slicer profile. Humanity remains unable to standardise anything, including tiny plastic labels.

Print settings

• Material: PLA or PETG

• Layer height: 0.16–0.20 mm

• Nozzle: 0.4 mm

• Walls: 3

• Infill: 15–20%

• Supports: No

• Orientation: Print flat

For clearer lettering, use a 0.16 mm layer height or add a filament colour change at the text layers.

Fit notes

Print one tab first to confirm the fit before producing the full set.

If the fit is too tight, check for elephant foot or reduce the XY size very slightly in the slicer. If it is slightly loose, increase the XY size by a small amount.
