Trapper & Jeff are two friends who met over a decade ago, sharing an interest in gaming, cycling, and nerding out on everything with a geeky passion. Now, they are bringing Modi Boxi into the world as a 3D printable option to solve the storage needs of gamers everywhere. 

Jeff is well known amongst his friends as a talented maker. His basement is filled with every tool you can imagine: Five 3D printers, a CNC machine, a laser engraver, and everything for a professional wood shop. He’s built water-cooled wooden PCs, several full-sized wooden gaming tables, LED lightsaber displays, rocking horses, cabinetry, furniture, and chess sets, and he has already published STLs in various marketplaces. 
The idea for Modi Boxi started when Jeff was trying to build a 3D printable dice tower as a gift for a geek weekend with friends. The idea for the dice tower involved printable screw bolts and cantilever hinges with a tackle-box-style container. It soon became apparent that the system had so much more potential besides being an awesome dice tower. 

After almost a year of re-design and prototyping, the screw bolts turned into Modi Bolts. The dice tower boxes became multiple sizes. A new Warhammer 40k hobby inspired Jeff to add limitless trays for miniature setup, tear down, and storage. Space for board games and a system for paint storage, card storage, and much more were included. 

In August 2023, Jeff approached Trapper about figuring out how to bring Modi Boxi into the world. Both have always wanted to do a Kickstarter, and Modi Boxi seemed like the best shot at something that others would enjoy and find valuable.  
With Trapper’s experience founding video game and healthcare startups, along with his go-to-market and product market expertise, the two of them launched the first ad tests of Modi Boxi in November 2023. Both of them thought it would be great if a couple of people dropped their email to learn more about the Kickstarter launch. They were shocked when thousands and thousands of people registered their interest in the Modi Boxi storage STLs. 

From that point forward, Trapper & Jeff have been working to build Modi Boxi into the most flexible 3D printable gaming storage solution out there and assembling a growing community of passionate DIYers. They can’t wait to see what you’ll build. 

Risks & Challenge

Modi Boxi strives for quality assurance by extensively testing all STL files on various 3D printers with popular slicers. However, the complexity of individual printers, ongoing slicer updates, and variations in filament types may introduce unexpected model issues.

Modi Boxi Assurance: In the unlikely event of widespread model errors, updates will be issued to backers at no extra cost, ensuring a seamless 3D printing experience.

Backer Responsibility: This campaign exclusively offers Digital Files (.STL) with no physical rewards shipped. Supported printer specs are essential. Please see the printer spec chart. Also, ensure your printer is precisely calibrated for a 0.2 clearance tolerance to guarantee issue-free printing before pledging support.

Stretch Goal Caution: While all Modi Boxi files are rigorously tested, unplanned unlocked stretch goals may introduce untested elements. Rest assured, any unforeseen issues will be resolved through thorough testing before release.

Delivery Timing Risk: While we aim to deliver all Modi Boxi files within a month post-Kickstarter campaign closure, undiscovered errors or delays in modeling stretch goals could extend the delivery timeline beyond our delivery date.

Refund Policy: Due to the digital nature of this campaign, no refunds will be issued once the distribution process has commenced. Your support and understanding are highly appreciated as we work diligently to bring Modi Boxi to life.
