If you are passionate about everyday carry (EDC) gear, knives, or any hobby that involves tinkering with small parts, you know how quickly a workspace can become a chaotic mess. Even if I do not have a lot of gear like that, I have plenty of stationery or knick-knacks, which can also turn into a jumble of things. Keeping them organized requires good containers and a smart system.
The Large EDC or Hobby Maintenance Tray by Practical3DP is designed to help you organize this part of your life. It is a thoughtfully designed organizer that is stylish, sturdy, and highly functional. At first glance, the craftsmanship of the Practical3DP tray stands out. Each tray is machined from a solid piece of 6061 aluminum, offering both a premium look and the kind of durability that will last a lifetime. The metal features a sleek, brushed finish that not only looks sharp but is also easy to keep clean, which is a definite plus for messy projects.

Organization is at the heart of this tray’s design. The tray measures approximately 11.8 x 7.9 inches (300 x 200 mm), providing a generous working surface without overwhelming your desk. It features four cork-lined sections: three upper trays (each about 97–98 x 47 mm) for sorting screws, washers, pocket clips, or other small items, and a large main area (296 x 147 mm) perfect for your work-in-progress projects. The cork not only adds a warm, organic touch to the industrial aluminum but also helps protect delicate components and keeps tiny parts from rolling away. It is a subtle detail that makes a big difference in daily use.
You no longer have to hunt for loose driver bits. Along the left side of the tray, you will find six 1/4-inch hex bit holders, each magnetized to keep your bits secure and easy to access. There is also a dedicated rest for your hex driver (up to 14.9 mm in diameter), so your most-used tool is always within reach. If your driver handle is a bit larger, Practical3DP offers an adapter on request; just let them know your needs. One of the most unique features of this tray is its PETG 3D-printed adjustable feet. If your tabletop is uneven, you can simply adjust the feet to level the tray. This thoughtful addition keeps your workspace stable, no matter where you set up, which is an often-overlooked detail that serious hobbyists will appreciate.
While the tray was designed with knife maintenance and EDC gear in mind, its layout and high-end materials make it a versatile choice for other hobbies, from watch repair and model building to electronics and jewelry making. Whatever your passion, the Practical3DP tray helps keep your workspace organized and your parts protected. The Large EDC or Hobby Maintenance Tray by Practical3DP is not just another organizer. It is a purpose-built workstation crafted with the needs of enthusiasts in mind. With its robust aluminum construction, smart magnetic holders, cork-lined pockets, and customizable leveling feet, it brings a sense of order and professionalism to any hobby table.
