Summary

First off, Thank you to @dauntlessdesignworks who created this design! I went through all the milk crate designs and this was my favorite one. I remixed it because wanted to create a version that could be a tiny bit more functional. I also used TinkerCAD to modify this file just as he used to design it.

The changes I made were as follows:

  • Gave the model the ability to be printed upright

  • I added a thin support that runs along the bottom exterior edges which can easily be peeled off. Use a heat gun to remove any whitening that is left over.

  • changed the size a little to be a perfect cube (28x28x28mm)

  • changed the bottom a bit so that the milk crates could be pressure fit stacked on top of one another

  • created a small link piece that gives the crates connectability. The crate handles can be linked together to make larger structures

***May 11, 2021 additions:

  • Lid that presses into the inside of milk crate. It doesn't interfere with the crate links. You need to use your nails to remove them. They are a bit tight at first but there wear in quickly

  • Lid that snaps over the crate and covers the handles. The links can't be used with this lid but the lid is much easier to remove than the other lid

  • Insert for 4 x SD cards. This removes the ability to use Lids or stack the crates but the
    linkability still remains

  • Insert for 4 x Switch cartridges. This removes the ability to use Lids or stack the crates but the linkability still remains
