Altoids Tin Divider (Rev2) 4-Way & 6-Way
This is an advanced revision from my original project, designed to fit more eloquently in the tin with notches for the lip. Additionally I created a version that splits it into six compartments as well.
In the attached .SVG file, I am including both my original simple design, and the updated designs.
Supplies
- Attached .SVG file containing vectors for both 3mm and 1.5mm (1.5mm only for simple design) board designs created with Inkscape
- Laser Engraver/Cutter (I used 10w Falcon A1, Power=90%, Speed 350mm/m; but should work with any)
- 3mm or 1.5mm Basswood (or similar); I only included a 3mm design for the updated four compartments and six compartment versions
- Standard Altoids-style/size tin

Cut & Assemble
- Using a laser cutter, cut out one of the designs contained in the .SVG file depending on your board thickness
- Slide together perpendicular
- Insert into tin can (should be a tight fit; may have to slightly flex the tin walls)
