We are pleased to announce the launch of our 3D printing contest dedicated to the world of boxes, cases, and storage solutions! This is the perfect opportunity for designers, makers, and DIY enthusiasts to push the limits of their creativity by crafting functional and decorative 3D printable boxes for various uses.

The goal of this contest is simple: produce 3D files (STL, OBJ, 3MF, etc.) for boxes, organizers, and storage solutions, all optimized for 3D printing. Whether you're a skilled modeler or just starting out, this challenge is open to all levels! Take this opportunity to revisit classic storage solutions or develop new innovative designs with smart compartments, modular parts, or stylish aesthetics.

Here are some ideas to inspire you:

  • Secret compartments boxes for jewelry or small treasures
