Three Dozen Egg Holder!!

I wanted a egg tray holder that could hold enough eggs that it didn't need to be reloaded every other day. I also wanted to minimize the space behind the trays in the fridge. This egg tray holder has three trays that will hold 12 eggs each for a total of 36. Each tray can be pulled out and set on the counter for easier access when needing more than a couple of eggs at one time.

If you're looking for a shorter version, here's a link to the two tray version:  [https://makerworld.com/en/models/601645#profileId-523978](https://makerworld.com/en/models/601645#profileId-523978)

**Update 1/17/2026**

I've revised some details related to how the components fit and snap together.

• I've added some additional clearance between trays to allow for bigger eggs.
• The side rails have been revised for more rigidity to make the tray stronger.
• The trays have been modified to eliminate any support for printing.  The clips on the print bed aren't required but can be put on the bottom by sliding from the center where there is a recess and then sliding to the side.  The tolerance will be tight.
• The brackets and how they snap onto the side panels has been revised to allow easier assembly and should reduce breaking of the bracket.
• The method for connecting the side panels has been revised to three separate bow-tie keys that are pressed into the side panels instead of the integrated tabs that required support.
• Inserts for smaller eggs have been added.  They are designed to snap into the existing holes in the trays one at a time.  They are sized based on Quail eggs with the hole diameter set at 26mm.

**Update 8/21/2024**

I've added a new profile that should accommodate larger eggs.  I added 3-5mm to each tray height so larger eggs would fit and not hit the eggs below.  The profile has XL in the title.

**Update 7/14/2024**

The profile uploaded did not have supports setup for all points that needed it.  Supports have been turned to ‘Manual Auto’ for the sides.

Main Design Features

• Each tray holds 1 dozen eggs.
• The trays can be pulled out and set on the counter while keeping the eggs in place.
• The assembly is all friction fit but could be glued together. The side rails for the trays should be glued or melted onto the trays to keep them in place.
• Three trays means reloading less often.

Assembly

The trays and sides are printed in two parts and snap together using tabbed keys. This allowed a longer design to accommodate more eggs. I have printed everything in PLA.

Side Panels

1. Snap the front and back panels together and align the tabbed keys.
2. They can be glued but I have not had any issue with them separating without gluing.

EggTrays:

1. Snap the two main sections together and press on each tab key to align top surface.
2. The side rails then slide on each side. I have been gluing the side rails at the front and rear to keep them from moving. They can be melted to the trays as well.

Top & Bottom Brackets:

1. snap the brackets onto the recessed areas on the top and bottom of the side panels. Careful not to push too hard or the side can buckle at the slide grooves.
2. The double bracket goes in the middle to help provide support for the vertical seam.

I have put rubber feet on the bottom brackets to help keep it from sliding around in the fridge.

Dimensions:

• Height: 200mm
• Width: 115mm
• Length: 310mm (tray tabs at front and back extend 20mm)
