Taiyaki Ice Cream - Cute & Functional Storage Box
Ever wished you could hold a delicious Taiyaki ice cream in your hands forever? Well, now you can—without the melty mess! The Taiyaki Ice Cream is a super fun and functional 3D-printed storage compartment inspired by the iconic fish-shaped Japanese treat. Whether you're a fan of matcha, black sesame, or lychee, you can bring your favorite flavors to life with your choice of filament colors!
This model prints in two parts—the fish-shaped cone and the ice cream swirl. Both print without supports and print-in-place mechanisms, making them a breeze to produce. Simply snap the pieces together, aligning the mechanism carefully for a secure fit. Once assembled, it becomes a cute storage box for your desk, gaming setup, or craft space.
What can you put inside? The possibilities are endless! Store colored pencils, office supplies, small tools, candy for game nights, or art & craft materials—whatever sparks your creativity!
✨ Two Ice Cream Options! ✨
Standard Ice Cream – classic and adorable. Ice Cream with a Built-in Pencil Slot – because we all have that one favorite pen we use every day! Plus, it looks like a straw sticking out of the ice cream.
🎨 Printing Details:
Nozzle: 0.4 mm Layer Height: 0.2 mm Infill: Hatch (8%) or Cubic (15%) Supports: OFF (not needed!) Walls: 2
This print is super easy, super cute, and full of Japan vibes. Fresh out of the printer, it already looks amazing—no post-processing required! So, are you ready to add a touch of kawaii to your setup? 🍦🐟

No problem at all. Print a 50% version with chocolate PLA. I use Cubic infill (15%). Beautiful storage box !
Try another filament. The matte PLA is well know to be one of the most fragile PLA.
I need help.. ;-; I got this model but I'm receiving the file in 3mf, my printer uses stl, where can I get the correct one?
Hey there!
You can usually load a 3mf file in any Slicer software. Just try File - Open Project.
If that doesn’t work, you can always try another Slicer.
A 3MF file is already loaded with printing settings, so you don’t have to do anything, which makes it perfect for the printing experience. We hope that helps!
First try printing. Followed all settings, and it broke at the hinge, as user tdiepmimi mentions. Super cute storage box, but definitely needs more description of how to, "snap the pieces together, aligning the mechanism carefully." Printed a second base and was able to ease it on using WD40 as a lubricant, but the ice cream portion did dig into the hinge mechanism.
Try another filament. For example, Matte PLA is well know to be one of the most fragile PLA.
