Description
This is a custom-designed storage insert that fits perfectly inside Vietmar type 128p storage containers — ideal for keeping your transistor collection tidy and easy to navigate.
The design includes:
Inner storage container for holding multiple transistors.
Display lid with a dedicated slot to hold one transistor visibly, so you can instantly identify the contents without opening the container.
This makes it much easier to find the right transistor quickly, while keeping your collection neatly organized.
Printing Tips:
For best results, print both the storage container and the lid in vase mode (see Figure C for reference).
You can use either spiral vase mode or your preferred single-wall printing method — choose based on the desired strength and flexibility.
In my experience, spiral vase mode works great:
Easy to access the contents.
Secure enough that it won’t pop open unintentionally, even if it slips from your hand.
Recommended Material: PLA or PETG (depending on your handling and storage environment).
Intended Use: Electronics hobbyists, transistor libraries, or anyone who needs to keep small components organized and visible.
