![Custom 3D printed milk crates for action figure dioramas](http://www.thediotribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_2268-1024x1024.jpg)
After a ton of planning, designing, and printing, I can finally announce that I am now selling my own 3D printed products. The first item up for sale is a supply crate that would look perfect in any Punisher lair, or villain hideout.

I know this crate seems pretty simple, but it took quite a bit of work to get it to the point where I thought it was a product that other people would want to buy. It would have been so much easier to just download a free file and hit “print” but there are lots of other people doing that already. I wanted these crates to be unique, so I designed them myself and modeled them in Blender. After much trial and error, and numerous failed prototypes, I came up with a design that prints nice and sharp and looks great. These crates are so strong that I could probably stand on one without it breaking (though I would not recommend it!).

You can find these crates on eBay! (As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase.)
Do you have products in 1:12 and 1:48 scale?
A lot of the items I sell work well with 1:10. I haven’t done any smaller scale items though.
