💥 Meet the Mini PopTop Box

Get ready for the most satisfying print of the week! The Mini PopTop Box is a fully 3D printable container featuring a clever, integrated spring mechanism. No screws, no glue, and no metal springs required—just pure geometry and plastic!

Designed to be the perfect balance of utility and fidget-toy fun, the lid snaps shut securely and flies open with a simple push of the latch. Whether you need to store small parts or just want something fun to click while you work, the PopTop is the answer.

✨ Why You’ll Love This Print

  • 100% Fully Printable: No non-printed hardware needed. If you have a printer and filament, you have a box!
  • Satisfying "Pop" Action: The integrated printed spring provides a snappy, responsive opening mechanism that feels premium.
  • Multiple Sizes Included: I have included several size variations to fit everything from SD cards and pills to mints and jewelry.
  • Print-in-Place / Easy Assembly: The box and lid hinge are print-in-place, requiring no assembly. Only the spring and spring case need to be installed, making assembly quick and easy.

📏 Available Sizes

The files include the following variations to suit your needs:

  • Small: Perfect for pills, microSD cards, or small vitamins. Inside dimensions - 20x50x28mm
  • Medium: Great for USB drives, coins, or earbuds. Inside dimensions - 20x50x36mm

🎨 Aesthetic Suggestions

This design looks amazing in dual colors!

  • Try printing the lid in a contrasting color to the body.
  • Adding text into the box in the slicer makes it stand out and feel more personal.
  • Silk filaments give the box a premium, metallic look. Please note that some silk filaments have poor layer adhesion, which may cause the locking mechanism to snap.
  • Matte PLA hides layer lines beautifully and gives it a modern product feel. Please note that some matte filaments have poor layer adhesion, which may cause the locking mechanism to snap.
