The Fraktal Chest is a 6x8 artisan storage box with semi-modular dividers that can be removed to suit your artisan sizing needs.
The case itself is an acrylic sandwich design, but each layer is split into two "L" shapes, allowing MUCH less material to be wasted in the
cutting process, and significantly decreasing overall material cost (a savings which we pass on to you!). Like most sandwich-style case
designs, it uses button head bolts and threaded standoffs to hold it together, but this case also uses press-fit magnets used to hold the lid
on. After some initial feedback and testing, I deemed that magnets were a much cleaner and user-friendly option over thumb screws.
The lid is secure, but with some thumb cutouts and the magnets, it is very easy to remove and replace (for the overly-active trader ).
The standout feature of this case, however, is that the dividers that make up the "grid" are removable, which will let you take some out
to fit artisans that are sized larger than 1u!

Prototype pictures!

Picture of the first prototype! Fitment of the dividers need a few small tweaks that will be finalized with the new acrylic supplier.

This is the case on the stand. Also notice the magnets that hold the lid on! This makes it super easy to take the lid on/off, and holds it very securely.

Optional 20 degree angled stand

The Fraktal Chest will fit any standard 1u-sized artisan keycap, and can accommodate caps up to 0.85” (21.6mm) tall.

Here is a pic with the crystal-clear lid on.

Example showing how you can remove a divider to fit 2u artisan caps.

Another example showing how you can fit much larger caps if you want!

I also plan to include a foam insert to keep your artisans secure during travel. I’m working on finding some type of strap/band to keep the lid on during travel as well.
