Cardboard Box with 3D Printed Cradles

Pyramid Storage Solutions

This is a cardboard box that used to contain the Northstar game "Say Anything." It measures 20 cm × 26.5 cm and can hold up to 18 plastic white cradles stacked two layers deep. Each cradle can hold one stash of pyramids. The cradles are 3D printed with two semicircular notches in the sides to allow them to be lifted out even when flush with other cradles, and there is a groove around the bottom of the cradles that allows them to stack with one another.

Two cradles stacked. You could theoretically keep stacking them high, but the depth of the storage box used limits our stacking to two levels.
