What is MiniForge Tray Studio?

MiniForge Tray Studio makes rectangular organizer trays and boxes with a lift-off lid in your browser. You set the outside width, depth and height, the wall and floor thickness, the corner radius and the clearances, then split the inside into compartments, and split those again, as deep as you need.

Dividers can be built into one printed tray or made removable as separate flat plates that slot in. Boxes can get a lift-off lid and optional stacking rings so trays with the same footprint locate on each other. For the fit, the page suggests starting at 0.25 mm per mating side and printing the free fit-test pieces first.

It exports a single STL, a ZIP of named STL parts with assembly instructions, or a Bambu 3MF, and saves editable JSON projects. Exporting needs a Google sign-in, and the free version allows 5 designs a day for personal use. Commercial use needs DIAMOND on Patreon.
