Description
About the Model
This STL represents a standard shipping container with clean, functional detailing and a neutral industrial aesthetic. The design is intentionally flexible, allowing it to fit into a variety of tabletop settings without being tied to a specific faction or universe.
The container can be used on its own, grouped into storage yards, or stacked to form elevated positions and dense terrain layouts. Its simple geometry makes it ideal for repeat prints when building up larger boards.
Designed for 3D Printing
This shipping container STL has been created with practical home printing in mind.
- STL format, compatible with all major slicers
- Designed for support-free FDM printing
- Clean geometry for reliable prints and minimal post-processing
- Suitable for common filaments such as PLA
- Scaled for 28–32mm tabletop gaming
The focus is on dependable prints rather than unnecessary complexity, making it easy to add multiple containers to your terrain collection.
The model is sized to match the proportions commonly used for tabletop shipping containers, allowing it to sit cleanly alongside other container terrain already in use. This makes it easy to mix with existing boards and expand layouts without scale mismatches or awkward gaps.
Easy to Paint and Customise
The model uses clean surfaces and defined panel lines, making it easy to paint, weather, and customise after printing. This makes it well suited to drybrushing, washes, hazard markings, graffiti, and other tabletop terrain techniques.
Its simple structure also makes it a good base for kitbashing or light modification, allowing you to add doors, damage, or additional details to suit your table.
Uses on the Tabletop
This shipping container 3D model works well as:
- STL format, compatible with all major slicers
- Designed for support-free FDM printing
- Clean geometry for reliable prints and minimal post-processing
- Suitable for common filaments such as PLA
- Scaled for 28–32mm tabletop gaming
Its neutral design makes it suitable for sci-fi, industrial, modern, or near-future tabletop environments, as well as narrative and skirmish-scale games.
Expanding Beyond a Single Container
This model also forms part of the wider Container City project, a modular 3D printable terrain system built around stacked containers, converted dwellings, and dense vertical settlements.
