Ever wanted one of those iconic plastic US Mail totes for your desk, but didn’t want the federal drama of taking official government property? 🤫 This is the model for you!

This 3D-printable mini mail tote captures the look of the real thing, scaled down to act as a unique gift box, stationery organizer, or desk accent. It is the perfect token of appreciation for your local mail carrier, a great gift for post office employees, or just a fun piece of functional decor for your workspace.

🛠️ Print Settings & Tips

This model was designed to be an incredibly easy, straightforward print.

• Printer Compatibility: Optimized to print on small-bed printers like the Bambu Lab A1 Mini, but runs beautifully on any standard machine.
• Scaling Up: Want a bigger tote? You can easily scale this up! The maximum recommended scale for a standard 256×256mm build plate (like the X1C/P1S/A1) is 150%.
• Bed Adhesion: No complex geometries here, but please ensure your print bed is completely clean to ensure perfect bed adhesion for any crisp corners or minor support interfaces.
• The "US MAIL" Text: The letters are printed as separate pieces for clean, multi-color results without a multi-material system! You can print them in a contrasting color (like black or blue) and glue them directly into the shallow guide recesses on the front.
  • Alternative Style: If you prefer a completely clean or embossed look, you can leave the letters off entirely, and the built-in shallow recess will still clearly read "US MAIL."
