3D Printed Tissue Box/Compartment

Hello! I am a student from Singapore and I find joy in expressing my creativity!

As an individual who frequently uses tissues, I find it cumbersome to retrieve a new packet each time from the storage room. To address this, I have chosen to create a 3D-printed tissue compartment. This design facilitates easy access to tissues and also provides storage space for the next packet, minimizing the need for frequent visits to the storage room.

Materials

• PLA Filament 

Hardware

• 3D Printer (I used Raised3D Pro 2)

Software:

• Fusion360

To begin, I conducted a swift measurement of my standard tissue packet to ensure it would perfectly fit into the allocated space. The resulting dimensions I derived are 150mm x 110mm x 15mm (L x B x W).

I utilized the tissue measurements as a reference to determine the dimensions of my tissue compartment. To ensure sufficient space, I aimed for the compartment to be at least more than half the size of the tissue packet. Consequently, I set the dimensions to be 80mm x 180mm x 60mm (B x L x H).

Subsequently, I inserted a block between the two ends to create a division between the storage space for the extra tissue packet and the stack of tissues that I will pull out. I made certain that the block was positioned at least 20mm away from one of the ends, considering the thickness of the tissue packet falls between 10-20mm.

Conversely, on the opposite end, I extruded the circle with a diameter of 22mm, extending it by 10mm to create a slot for inserting the tissue, making it easier to pull out. (You may consider enlarging it to a full 22mm, as my tissue did not fit through the 10mm hole.)

After finalizing the 3D design of the tissue compartment, I exported the file as an STL and submitted it for printing. Here is the result after the printing process!

Upon printing the model, I inserted my tissue paper and tissue packet. The fit was perfect (With the exception of the circle)!
