How would you improve slab boxes? aka another project for my 3D printer

While I've been busy building out version 4 of my AI coin-sorting robot, I've gained a lot of experience creating 3D models in Fusion. An interesting thing I've noted over the years is the variety of opinions on slab box designs. There was a lot of anticipation about what design CAC would go with.

Now that I have a 3D printer, I'm wondering if there is a new design that would make the lives of collectors and dealers easier.



I'm looking to design and test new layouts based on the community's needs. For folks who are open to sharing their feedback, I'll ship out these prototypes for free.

Some questions on top of my head

• What are the biggest issues with today's designs, and how are you addressing them now?
• Are you more of a collector or dealer?
• Ideally, how many slabs should a box hold to best meet your needs?
• Would you want your boxes to be personalized, like with your company name or name?
• Interested in having me ship out a prototype for you to test out?

Congrat's on the printer! I have two boxes of coins that have a single divider. I'd like more so they don't slide around and fall flat down on the box.
. Just a leisure collector.
. About a hundred per box.
Yes, I'll try one out. I like doing reviews.

 

Some questions on top of my head

• What are the biggest issues with today's designs, and how are you addressing them now? I don't see any negative issues
• Are you more of a collector or dealer? I'm Definitely a collector
• 
• Ideally, how many slabs should a box hold to best meet your needs? 20 is fine. Anymore and it would be too heavy!
• Would you want your boxes to be personalized, like with your company name or name? Nope
• Interested in having me ship out a prototype for you to test out? Not really, It's ok. Thanks

 

I'll chime in here. I have now purchased two slab boxes. Both have been given away and I have my slabs stored in Tupperware boxes

1. The obvious issue but still needs to be said... The box must be able to accommodate all slabs.
2. The top should close tightly (similar to Tupperware) to assist in controlling the inside environment.
3. This is the big one for me. I have no idea if the inside dimensions of safes are uniform or not. But each slab box I have purchased would not allow my safe door to close.

Don't care anything about personalization, however the addition of one of those little tags (air tags?)... The kind that locate your dog or lost keys with your phone sort of thing. Something concealed that only you know is in that box. That way if the box does disappear you have a leg up in tracking it down.
