Infinite Containers
Endless Solutions for Creative Makers
Infinite Containers is our most extensive 3D printable collection to date: a customizable, modular system of stackable containers and accessories designed for 3D printing. With over 1,000 STL files available for download, this ever-expanding collection offers limitless possibilities to create modern, minimalist designs for furnishings and home decor. From desk organizers and kitchen essentials to bathroom accessories, lamps, planters, and vases, each object embodies simplicity, elegance, and sustainability.
At its core, the collection reimagines everyday objects. Most functional items—from toothbrush holders to waste bins—are essentially containers, defined by their form and function. Infinite Containers invites makers to push beyond traditional design constraints. With the potential of desktop 3D printing, the maker becomes an integral part of the design process, determining size, material, color, and function of each piece.
Our innovative system of modular building blocks leverages the creative freedom generated by desktop 3D printing, allowing you to design, customize, assemble, and reimagine functional accessories. Whether seeking practical storage solutions or unique decor, this contemporary collection empowers you to transform your interior and office spaces effortlessly and affordably.
The images below demonstrate how similar sets of containers can be reinterpreted in different situations through the proper selection of size, material, and color.
Infinite Containers Sizes
The collection includes four series, each identified by a unique code. The first three digits specify the series and container’s inner diameter (in millimeters), ensuring compatibility for stacking and rotation. The second set of digits reflects the height of the container, excluding the 4mm nesting base.
Containers from different series can be combined to fulfill diverse dimensional and functional requirements. The set of bathroom accessories shown below utilizes components from three series.

Scaling Infinite Containers
The diverse series and sizes of Infinite Containers cater to different use cases, offering the flexibility to expand a set by 3D printing additional components. New containers can be combined with existing ones, or repurposed with newly 3D printed accessories.
For applications requiring specific dimensions, we recommend scaling up proportionally to maintain the original design’s aesthetic and functionality.
Infinite Containers Components
Containers
There are four primary container shapes in the collection: square, round, hexagonal, and rectangular. All containers within the same series can be stacked and will playfully rotate on top of each other, with some obvious limitations for rectangular shapes.
Slotted Containers
A variation of the standard containers, slotted containers include a vertical cutout, designed for applications requiring lateral access for drainage, wiring, or mounting hardware, such as lamp bases or soap dishes.
Pierced Containers
Designed for applications requiring bottom or top access, pierced containers feature openings also intended for drainage, wiring, or mounting hardware. The hole is pre-sized to accommodate an E26/E27 lamp socket, and additional accessories like lamp socket adapters and planter drain inserts are available for customization.
Accessories
Accessories enhance the Infinite Containers collection, transforming these simple 3D-printed objects into fully functional, stylish products.
Lids
Lids provide a cover while adding flair and functionality to the containers. They come in various styles to suit different applications.
Finials
Finials attach to the lids via threaded connections, serving as knobs or handles to easily hold the lids. They also contribute to the set’s functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Stands
Stands elevate the containers, enhancing their presence in any home or office setting. They can also function independently as plant risers or display bases.
Other Accessories
Additional accessories, such as louvered racks and lamp socket adapters, further expand the versatility of Infinite Containers. While designed for specific uses, their flexible nature allows makers to explore new creative applications.
The jewelry box shown below was assembled with components from the Infinite Containers 128 Series. It’s a perfect example of how stands, containers, lids, and finials come together to create truly unique objects, effortlessly.
