Capacitor - Desk Container

Bring some functional geek chic to your workspace! The Capacitor Desk Container is a mini, electronics-inspired desktop organizer styled after a classic electrolytic capacitor. Whether you use it as a tiny desk trash can (for those 3D print brims, support scraps, and paper bits) or as a stealthy storage container, it's the perfect addition to any maker's or engineer's desk.

It features a functional, easy-to-use lid with a small tab for quick access, and the iconic "negative stripe" down the side to complete the look.

🛠️ Printing & Assembly Tips

This model is designed to be easy to print and looks best when utilizing multi-color printing or basic assembly.

• Multi-Color/AMS Friendly: The main body can be printed easily using an AMS or MMU to get that crisp, dual-color look for the black negative stripe and light blue housing.
• Layer Height: 0.2mm works perfectly, but you can drop down to 0.16mm if you want a smoother finish on the rounded edges.
• Supports: No supports required! The model is optimized to print clean right off the build plate.
• Infill: 10% - 15% (Gyroid recommended) is more than enough to keep it sturdy.
