Sewing Machine Needle Storage Cup
Print Profile(1)
Description
This model is for a sewing machine needle storage cup. It will hold up to 9 needle containers as well as numerous loose needles. There are many different sizes of containers for sewing machine needles. This model was designed specifically for the Schmetz 5-needle container that measures 3.8mm thick, 30mm wide and 43.6mm tall. As this appears to be an industry standard, there are many other brands that will fit. The profile can be scaled in your slicer to fit other sizes. The Schemtz 10-needle container is far too big to have designed a practical model although the profiler could be scaled up by 150% to accommodate. If you desire an alternate size, leave me a comment with precise measurements and I'll determine if I can accommodate with a new additional profile. I've included a graphic on the top of the Lid to enable you to determine which end is up when opening. The Lid attaches with the base with an easy-to-use twist lock.
3/24/2026: I made a slight modification to the base to make it easier to insert the needle cases.
