Gridfinity Oil Pastel Storage Tray (12 Slots)

The original cardboard packaging for oil pastels rarely survives long. This precision-engineered Gridfinity bin provides a permanent, clean home for your 12-piece pastel set. Each crayon has its own dimensionally accurate slot, keeping them organized and preventing them from getting dirty or breaking. It integrates perfectly into any standard Gridfinity baseplate.

🧠 Behind the Design (For Makers & Moderators) 

This is a structurally optimized organizational utility, engineered to seamlessly integrate into the standardized Gridfinity ecosystem. The model utilizes precise boolean subtractions to generate an exact-fit modular base topology. Furthermore, the internal cylindrical cavities are calculated with precise 11mm diameter tolerances to hold standard oil pastels securely without causing friction-lock, minimizing FDM material waste while maintaining structural integrity.

💡 Why did I make this model?
My old pastel box was falling apart, and I wanted them to be stackable in my Gridfinity storage. It's much better in use than a cardboard box and reusable for new sets.
