Customizable and modular display and storage boxes for tabletop miniature models
About
Do you need a simple but flexible solution for storing and transporting your 28/32 mm tabletop minitatures?
Key features:
easy and fast to print: box for a standard medium mini is FDM-printed in about 90 minutes
customizable: use the exact dimensions of your miniatures to model custom sized boxes
versatile: choose between beautiful boxes with round cut outs or more protective boxes with closable front walls
transportable: minis are protected even when they are stacked lying horizontally (when used with magnetic bases)
playable: as a GM you can stack minis in front of you without revealing them
modular: boxes can be stacked and even connected with OpenLOCK clips (which is very convenient when it comes to game play and you want to hold together similar monsters!)
protective: less dust on your minis when displayed on an open shelf and no dust when using closable boxes
compatible: ready-made boxes can be used "out of the box" :wink: with my magnetic mini bases
