About Customizable Snap-Lock Box
Also from Kong 3D, the Snap-Lock Box adds a proper closure to a custom-size container. The lid presses down and clicks into place, and a separate latch snaps onto the front so the box stays shut in a bag or toolbox.
The customizer keeps things short: length, width, height and corner radius, all measured from the outside. Parts print without supports, and assembly is a matter of pressing the lid and then the latch into position. The plain, modern look works for small accessories, hardware kits, first aid bits or anything else you carry around.
It is free with a MakerWorld account and has been customized more than 30,000 times. If you want the same style with a slide or hinged lid, the author offers matching parametric versions in the same collection, so a whole set of boxes can share one look.

What you'll need to print it
Materials and parts that give the best results with Customizable Snap-Lock Box.
PETG for functional and outdoor prints
PETG handles heat, sunlight and repeated flexing better than PLA, so Gridfinity bins in a hot garage or signs mounted outdoors keep their shape.
- Bambu Lab PETG BasicUpgraded formula that Bambu says matches PLA Basic for strength while staying impact-tough; low price per spool in multi-roll bundles.
- Polymaker PETGHigh-flow replacement for PolyLite PETG: strong, low-odour and quick to print.
- Overture High Speed PETGGood-value PETG in a large colour range for functional parts in bulk.
Matte PLA for signs and Gridfinity
Matte filament hides layer lines and cuts glare, so raised lettering on signs and nameplates stays readable from any angle and a drawer full of bins looks uniform.
- Bambu Lab PLA MatteWide colour range with AMS-ready RFID, ideal for multi-colour signs.
- Polymaker Panchroma Matte PLA (formerly PolyTerra)The former PolyTerra line under a new name: soft matte look and good value for printing Gridfinity in bulk.
- SUNLU Matte PLALow-cost matte option for large batches of bins and baseplates.
M3 screw assortment
M3 is the default fastener size for printed enclosures, hinges and mounts; a sorted kit of lengths saves a hardware-store trip whenever a model calls for bolts.
- Bambu Lab Fastener KitMixed self-tapping and machine screws with nuts, matched to Maker's Supply projects.
- Hilitchi M3 socket head cap screw assortment kitClassic boxed M3 assortment with nuts and washers in many lengths.
