About this model

I wanted to make a storage system for all my old DS/3DS games and figured, why not make it look like a Mario pipe! It's comprised of 3 parts. The lid, the base, and a middle piece that allows the pipe to be infinitely expandable. Each layer holds 8 games, and fits both DS and 3DS cartridges. All the layers screw together seamlessly for a compact, and aesthetic little storage system. I may update in the future with a V2 to improve upon things, but for now this works great! PRINTING NOTE: I highly recommend printing the lid and middle pieces with the inner threads facing upwards. They can be really had to use if supports get printed on the threads (this is one of the things I would like to optimize in a V2).
