Foldable Tea Baskets

These foldable tea bag baskets are perfect for the filament-conscious tea-lover!  They print in under two hours, fold really simply, and are designed to be stackable.  My family tends to collect dozens of tea bags from a variety of brands, so when I went about designing these tea baskets my goal was to have a modular, sustainable, fast to produce solution.  I could have made the design for printing in vase-mode, which would have still required very little filament, but it would have had a longer print time and wouldn’t have allowed for the patterned “basket appearance”.  As an alternative solution, I made the print foldable with tabs that get inserted into slots and are folded over to lock in place.
