Description

A fully customizable, parametric storage case designed to safely hold a wide range of optical filters — from astrophotography filters (1.25" / 2") to common photography filters  and other circular accessories.

The model allows you to adjust:

  • inner diameter & height
  • number of slots
  • wall thickness & tolerances
  • lid fit and engraving
  • side cutouts for easy filter removal

This makes it a versatile organizer not only for astrophotographers, but also for photographers, travelers, DIY makers, and anyone needing a compact protective case for small round items.

 

Why it’s useful:

  • Protects delicate glass and coatings,
  • Filters never touch the bottom — no scratches,
  • Easy to open, easy to remove filters,
  • Clean, modular design suitable for travel,
  • Prints fast and requires no supports,
  • Fully parametric — adapt it to any gear you own.

Perfect for storing astro filters, camera filters, microscope optics, small lenses, adapters, batteries, and other circular accessories. A practical addition to any camera bag, telescope kit, or workshop organizer.

 

This model is optimized for easy, support‑free printing on any printer.

  • No supports required,
  • 0.2 mm layer height recommended for clean edges,
  • PLA or PETG both work great (PETG for outdoor or travel use),
  • 3–4 perimeters for a strong, protective shell,
  • 10–20% infill is enough.
