I decided not to pursue making and selling them because the cost was about the same as the commercially available ones (about USD 9). I'm not sure that the plastic from any 3D printer type would stand up to LN2 temperatures, over the long run. I do make and sell a manual plunge freezing workstation. You can see it on the 3D printer service "Shapeways" at:<br><br>https://www.shapeways.com/product/HZSNAVE4B/plungefreezeinsert-base-v5-1-3<br><br>Let me know if you have any questions...<br><br>jc<br><br><br>John Crum<br>JC Designs/California<br>

<p>Dear all,</p>
<p><br> </p>
<p>In our lab we would like to try 3D-printing cryo-boxes to store plunge frozen cryo-grids (attached photo as reference).</p>
<p><br> </p>
<p>Has anyone tried this before? Does anyone have a blueprint of it?</p>
<p><br> </p>
<p>Any help is appreciated! Thank you.</p>
<p><br> </p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
