The prototype of this model were large paper containers for eggs in stores and warehouses. They allow to lay eggs on several levels. One level usually contains 30 eggs.

Customizer is available. However, it does not work well. If you need to change some parameters, it is better to insert your values into the .scad file.
Parameters available for changes (and default values):
height = 52
width = 48
top = 10
thickness = 1.6
x_count = 3
y_count = 3
version = "B" // from "A", "B", "C", "D"
The name of the model is constructed in the following way: (x_count)(y_count)(version).
Parameters x_count, y_count do not mean the number of eggs, but the number of units of length. Dimensions of the XYV model can be calculated as follows:
[X x width] , [Y x width] , [height + thickness]
[X x 48], [Y x 48], [53.6]
(the star sign works in a special way on this website).
It is easy to see that xyA = yxA, xyB = yxD, xyC = yxC, xyD = yxB - through horizontal rotation. Also - by vertical rotation: xyA=xyC, xyB=xyD, xyC=xyA, xyD=xyB. However, the vertical rotation is not always good due to the print properties on the 3D printer.
If you are building a multi-level container, you should properly choose components.
For example: 43B + 43D + 43B ...
It is best to use model A for a single-level container, and models B-D for multi-level container.
My print settings in Cura program:
adhesion_type = brim
bridge_settings_enabled = True
layer_height = 0.2
layer_height_0 = 0.2
infill_sparse_density = 100
outer_inset_first = True
retraction_hop_enabled = True
speed_print = 40
speed_travel = 60
top_bottom_thickness = 0.8
wall_thickness = 1.2
The adhesion to the table is important here. Depending on your printer, you should choose raft, brim or none.
You can avoid printing supports if your printer works well at printing bridges. The exception is the printout of model A, but it can be replaced by model C.
