Pop-Up Storage Box | Press-to-Open Organizer is a compact round storage box designed for everyday small items like cotton swabs, toothpicks, gum, sweets, screws, or similar accessories.
Just press the top and the lid pops up, combining practical use with a clean and satisfying mechanism ✨
- Simple assembly without glue or purchased parts – everything screws together easily
- Clean and minimal design powered by a push-push mechanism
- The mechanism includes a spring – PETG is recommended for printing the spring
- Overall size: 61 mm diameter × 79 mm height - If there is interest, I can create additional size variants
- Inner storage height: 65 mm
- Printed without supports
- Due to the fact that the plastic spring gradually loses its stiffness over time, I have created a new print profile (Pop-Up Box - Metal Spring)
If you are using the version with a plastic spring, the lid should be slightly lifted first and then pressed down when closing.
Update (19.12.2025): I have added a new version with an updated print profile designed for a metal spring, improving long-term reliability and overall functionality compared to the printed plastic spring version.
- New print profile for a metal spring 0.6 × 12 × 70 mm
- Updated version scaled to 88 mm overall height
- Inner storage height increased to 75 mm
- Lid travel increased to 20 mm for a stronger pop-up action
- Metal spring is included in the Maker’s Essential Kit A
- Metal spring provides more reliable performance than a plastic spring
- Plastic springs can lose stiffness over time due to stress relaxation
Assembly instruction step by step👉:
- Insert 04_Spring and 03_Lever into the side hole of 07_Base.
- Insert 02_Center – the spring should snap into the rectangular groove inside 02_Center.
- Make sure the hook of 03_Lever is properly seated in the guiding groove of the mechanism.
- Lock the position of 03_Lever using 06_Stop, which is inserted into 02_Center.
- Screw on 05_Cover.
- Place the complete mechanism into 01_Case and screw it in place.
