This is how to make a 3D makeup organizer that is personalized and has hollow tubes to fit makeup products.

Supplies: 3D printer, 3D printer filament

First you should look up what other 3D makeup organizers look like so you can get a good idea of what you want yours to be. Think about the shape of it, how tall it is and how much space it takes up. (I choose to do long cylinders with hollow spaces in the middle.)

The first thing you want to do when making this organizer is start with a base. Put down a rectangular base that's dimensions are 5 inches by 2 1/2 inches. To personalize this base I put down the initials of the person I was making this for. Make sure to pick a different color for the personalization if you want it to stand out.

To make the cylinders you drag out three solid cylinders and set them up in a row on the base. Make the middle on the tallest, the one to the right of the middle have a middle height and the last one is the shortest. The dimensions of the middle cylinder is 4 inches by 1 inch. The far right cylinders dimensions are 3 inches by 1 1/2 inchess. The last cylinder's dimensions should be 2 inches by 2 inches.

Now that you have three cylinders lined up you need to make them hollow. To do this take out three cylinders but when you bring them out click the hole button next to solid. Take one of the clear cylinders and make it 4 inches by 7/8; this will be the hollow space for the tall cylinder. For the middle sized cylinder (the one on the right) make the dimensions 3 inches by 1 inch. The hollow space for the shortest cylinder should have the dimensions 2 inches by 1/2 inches. When you are done with the dimensions of all of the hollow cylinders drag them all to where they match up (tall one with the tallest cylinder, medium with medium cylinder, shortest with the shortest cylinder) and put them in the middle of the solid cylinder. Make sure that none of the hole cylinder is coming through on the sides of the solid cylinder.

To make the hollow spaces in the solid cylinders actually show you need to group them. Drag your mouse over the cylinders (only drag it over the cylinders otherwise the personalization will become the same color). Click on the button that I have circled in red in the picture. After clicking that button the grey space should disappear into a hollow area.

You need to export the tinkercad file as a STL file and then put it into your choice of slicing software ( I chose the Prusa slicer software). When you get it on the slicing software click slice now. Make sure that your bottom of the organizer is all purple this makes sure that it will print flat.

The last step is just to 3D print it. You can use whatever printer you want just send it from the slicing software to your 3D printer and watch the 3D makeup organizer get created right before your eyes!
