Multi-Purpose Holder

Open-top tray with configurable cell grid — pencils, brushes, screwdrivers, utensils.

What it generates

An open-top tray with a configurable cell grid. Originally designed as a pencil holder, but the same shape fits brush sets, screwdriver kits, makeup organizers, kitchen utensil caddies — anywhere you need a compartmentalized container.

Parameters

  • Length, Depth, Height — outer dimensions of the tray, in millimetres. Length 40–300, Depth 30–300, Height 30–300.
  • Wall thickness — outer wall thickness. Default 4 mm. Tune to match nozzle × perimeter count.
  • Bottom thickness — floor thickness, separate from walls.
  • Hole diameter — diameter of the cell openings (when configured as hole-grid).
  • Hole spacing — gap between holes.
  • Rows × Cols — grid layout, 1×1 up to 10×20.
  • Chamfer — small bevel on the top edges and hole rims (0–1 mm) for cleaner first layers.
  • Color — single material; the 3MF will embed this color for auto AMS slot mapping.

Common use cases

  • Pencil/pen holders for desks
  • Brush organizers (paint, makeup, hobby)
  • Screwdriver and bit holders
  • Kitchen utensil caddies (small)
  • Workbench small-parts trays

Tips

  • For tall pens, set Height to at least 60–80 mm so they stay upright.
  • For mixed objects, increase Hole diameter and reduce row/col count.
  • If walls feel flimsy, increase Wall thickness to 5–6 mm.
