Do you need a simple but flexible solution for storing and transporting your 28/32 mm tabletop minitatures?
- easy and fast to print: box for a standard medium mini is FDM-printed in about 90 minutes
- customizable: use the exact dimensions of your miniatures to model custom sized boxes
- versatile: choose between beautiful boxes with round cut outs or more protective boxes with closable front walls
- transportable: minis are protected even when they are stacked lying horizontally (when used with magnetic bases)
- playable: as a GM you can stack minis in front of you without revealing them
- modular: boxes can be stacked and even connected with OpenLOCK clips (which is very convenient when it comes to game play and you want to hold together similar monsters!)
- protective: less dust on your minis when displayed on an open shelf and no dust when using closable boxes
- compatible: ready-made boxes can be used "out of the box" 😉 with my magnetic mini bases
- Download and install OpenSCAD from here.
- Open MiniatureBox.scad
- Choose box type (open or closable)
- Enter number of "box passengers", size of the base and the dimensions of your mini model
- Render and Export STL

Question: What size are the magnets for the ready-made boxes?
Answer: Axially magnetized cylinder magnets with a diameter of 5 mm (~ 2/10") and thickness of 1 mm (~ 1/32" - 1/24"). I am currently using these here.
Question: Not able to get 5x1 mm magnets, I want to use a different size...
Answer: Simply adapt the "Magnet cut out" parameter in the SCAD file and create custom boxes.
