Keurig Cup (Coffee Pod) Bins

I got so tired of trying to tear the cardboard boxes right at the perforation so that it looked nice in the pantry. It never worked. I also have some coffee that comes in different-shaped boxes and it was killing my OCD

So I modeled a bin that is roughly the same size as the Starbucks 22 pack. Oddly enough the Lipton tea pods I get have 24 pods in the same size box. Either way, if you note how they are packed in the box, you can pack them the same way in this 3D-printed bin and they will always fit.

The walls are fairly thin so expect a small amount of flex in the finished print. But it's still way stiffer than the cardboard and the thin walls make for a relatively fast print that uses less material.

The top is printed separately and is friction-fit into place. This makes it easy to remove for loading or cleaning the bins.

There is a “window” on the front that will accept a 53x91mm card. I used Adobe Illustrator to create a custom label, but you can cut part of the box and slide it in, use a label maker, or whatever. I suggest that you also put some sort of a label or sticker on the back or the bottom to record the expiration date before you trash the cardboard box.

PRINTING NOTES:

If your printer can't reliably bridge 85mm, I recommend adding so support to the top of the “label window”
