The proliferation of 3D printers probably had a negative impact on the sales of Altoids

  And this printable Altoids tin just feels like salt in the wound 😆

  I think few people were buying Altoids for the box (not nobody, I know exactly what you’re talking about, but I’m just saying it was a small piece of the pie) and the fad kind of faded.

    Yeah I do to store used razor blades rather throwing them directly in the trash. But yeah us who shave in a more traditional way are not exactly legion.

    Its a type of breathmint that comes in a little tin can.

    I had a little op-amp headphone amplifier I built in one because my mini disc player was really, really quiet. Couple LM386’s, iirc.

      I had a little self made amp as well. That thing could go loud, you had to be careful (I messed up the resistor or knob that controlled the volume and instead used the computer settings because $ to order another part). 30% was very loud 😀

  I don’t know how much it costs to print a tin like that (e.g. in materials), but you can buy plain tins fairly cheap.
