Make a keepsake box with a name to 3D print.
A word big on the lid, hat-box or press-on lid, compartments.
The Keepsake Boxes generator makes a gift box with a name or a word set big on its lid: for a wedding, a baby, a memory or a shop. The lid goes down over the box like a hat box, or presses into its mouth. Inside, the box can be split into a grid of compartments for rings, studs or keepsakes, and the lid can carry a pattern round the word.
Examples
How to make a keepsake box
Pick the shape and size
Length, width and height; the round shapes keep their own proportions.
Choose the lid
A hat-box lid down over the box, or a press-on lid, and how tight.
Split the inside
Compartments along and across, with walls 1.2 to 3 mm.
Put the word on the lid
A name in one of 11 fonts (a script such as Great Vibes suits a wedding), or your logo, and a library pattern round it.
Export and print
Box and lid as separate objects; a big lid goes on its own plate.
Where it is used
- A box for a bride, a bridesmaid or a guest of honour.
- A baby keepsake: first curl, first tooth, the hospital band.
- A jewellery box with a compartment for each pair.
- Gift packaging with a shop's logo.
Questions
How big can it be?
Up to 220 x 220 mm and 100 mm tall; a lid that does not fit beside the box goes on a second plate.
Can it have compartments?
Yes, up to 6 along and 4 across.
Can I put a name on it?
Yes, a word or a logo on the lid, inlaid in a second colour or pressed in.
What file do I get?
A 3MF, which keeps each colour as its own object for a multi-colour printer, or an STL. Every file is checked before it downloads: closed (watertight) geometry, a single shell and walls thick enough to print.
Is it free?
The free plan gives 3 designs a month on each generator. Selling the printed pieces needs the Seller or Studio plan, which include the commercial licence.
Licence
On the Free and Maker plans you may print your designs for yourself and as gifts, not for sale. Selling the printed pieces needs the Seller or Studio plan, which include the commercial licence and a licence certificate for each design. Pieces made during the free beta, before paid plans launched, may still be sold on the terms of that time. The exported files themselves can never be resold or redistributed, on any plan.
