In recent days, I’ve made some noteworthy enhancements to my storage boxes system by uploading a bunch of additional 3D models. These latest additions target one specific area: missing divider layouts. My primary reason for this concentrated effort? Well, your feedback made it abundantly clear that the boxes with dividers were not just popular but practically indispensable for many.
The Backstory
When I initially rolled out the storage box system, I started with just a handful of boxes featuring integrated dividers, also known internally as “Grids.” Truth be told, I was on the fence about their utility. But the glowing feedback and constructive suggestions you sent my way put those doubts to rest. So, I finally carved out some time to develop new designs, and here we are.
What’s New?
Series 100 – “Regular”
In the regular height storage boxes series, I filled in the gaps in the smaller divider layouts, extending it with the layouts four to six.
Series 200 – “Flat”
Given the high volume of feedback about small-parts organization, I’ve added two additional layouts: number seven and eight. These layouts feature small rectangle-shaped compartments (30x60mm) arranged in two different orientations. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on these new additions.
Series 300 – “Tall”
I’ve mirrored the changes made in Series 100 by adding the missing smaller dividers. Sorry, this took so long, I didn’t realised that tall boxes with small compartments are the perfect to store things, like drills, vertically.
Series 500 – “Triple”
I have added the three large divider layouts (layouts one, two, and three) to the series 500 triple height boxes. It appears that there is not much demand for triple and quadruple height boxes, but please let me know if you have a different perspective on this matter.
Series 600 – “Extended”
If you’re a fan of the extended boxes with a raster height of 1.5, you’re in for a treat. I generated all divider layouts from one to six for these.

Documentation
The documentation and PDFs have mostly been updated, encompassing the latest models and attributes. You can refer to them to gain insights about the new changes. Should you come across any errors, please let me know promptly so that I can address them accordingly.
Download Area
As mentioned above, all new storage boxes are already available on the download platform. There, you can browse them easily and download single files or whole series as ZIP files.
What’s Missing
I am currently facing a challenge in integrating the new models into the “all”-ZIP files, and I must admit that I have not yet found a solution. The size of these packages has reached approximately 7 GB, which makes it difficult to manage them as online downloads. I am exploring different approaches to break down these files into smaller sizes, but I am still unsure about the best way to solve this problem. Any suggestions or insights regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Certainly, I have generated ZIP files for every individual series. You can find these files in the “Packages” and “Series” directories. Feel free to utilize them if you prefer to download all the files of a series simultaneously.
