For those who want to 3D print these mini milk crates themselves, the shop also offers the option to purchase the STL file for the 3D printed miniature milk crates for an even more affordable price.

The shop also says that it’ll give you $2.50 off on purchases that include four or more STL FILES.

In the product description, the shop says these self-designed STL files work great with any type of filament. However, it’s worth noting that those who buy the digital file cannot return them, due to the nature of the product.
