Hello community.
I have a habit to remove the Resin Tank form my printer, every time I finish with a print and won’t be using the printer. This helps me stay away from those nasty mishaps, when a tank cracks and spills resin inside the printer. I also avoid any dust accumulation in my resin and minimize the exposure to UV light.
So as you might of guessed, I use those Resin Tank Boxes a LOT! The problem is that every time I go to put away the Resin Tank in its box, I struggle to find an easy way to put it in the box. So I have come up with a small trick, that makes my life just a bit easier and I hope, I will make someone else’s too.
P.S. : Formlabs, I think you could also easily implement this into your boxes, since it’s a neat little trick and not that much more complicated to add to your box design and manufacturing.

Quick Instructions of what I did:
- Unfold the sides of the box
- Measure 2cm from the fold. I found that to be low enough to easily place the tank into the box but still keep some structural integrity.
- Draw lines from the previous line to the edge of the box.
- Cut on the lines with an x-acto knife
- Fold the box back together
