If you want this exact organizer printed instead of troubleshooting lid clutter yourself, get this model printed.
The IKEA 365+ Lid Holder on Printables by Simon solves a kitchen problem that most people recognize immediately: container lids do not stack well, they slide around in drawers, and they tend to turn one cabinet or shelf into a noisy, frustrating mess. This model gives those lids a dedicated place so they stay upright, visible, and easier to grab.
Before you pay to have a downloaded model made, make sure the file is actually worth outsourcing, the license allows the print you want, and the request includes more than just a raw link. Use the model-screening guide, the rights and permissions guide, and the downloaded-model handoff guide before you turn a good file into a paid order.
This is exactly the kind of featured file that fits GoodPrints3D well. It is useful, visually obvious, and grounded in a normal everyday use case instead of novelty. The public Printables page also shows strong real-world traction: roughly 1,653 likes, 5,246 downloads, 49 makes, 41 ratings, 57 comments, about 23,059 views, and 894 public collections. That is more than enough signal to show people are actually printing and using it.
What this IKEA lid holder is for
This print is a storage helper for food-container lids, especially IKEA 365+ lids, though the source listing notes it may suit others too. Instead of laying lids flat in a pile, the holder stores them upright so you can see what you have and pull out the size you need without disturbing the whole stack.
- kitchen drawers where lids normally drift into a tangled pile
- cabinet shelves where stacked lids keep tipping over
- pantries or food-prep zones where quick access matters
- homes that already use IKEA 365+ containers regularly
The source description also notes that the holder can be fed from the side, which matters because it helps the organizer fit shelves and not just deep drawers.
Why it works as a strong 3D print
This is a very clean match between problem and manufacturing method. The geometry is easy to understand, the function is obvious, and the payoff is immediate once it is in use. You do not need a long explanation or a niche hobby context to understand why it exists.
The source model has also been iterated instead of abandoned after upload. The description notes a lower-height revision, multiple holder counts, and an added chamfer to make feeding lids easier. That kind of iteration usually translates into a better featured-file pick because it suggests real use informed the design.
Material and print notes that actually matter
The source description says it was printed in PLA with 18% infill, which makes sense for an indoor kitchen organizer that is mostly handling light loads. PLA is an easy default here if the holder will live in a drawer or cabinet away from heat.
- PLA is reasonable for normal indoor kitchen storage
- a brim or adhesive may help because the source warns about the large surface area on glass beds
- clean first layers matter more than cosmetic perfection
- you can choose the holder count that fits your available drawer or shelf width

Who this model is best for
- people already using IKEA 365+ containers in a busy kitchen
- families tired of lid clutter in drawers and cabinets
- makers who like small utility prints that stay useful
- anyone trying to make kitchen storage more visible and less annoying
It is not decorative and it does not pretend to be. It is a simple kitchen utility print that earns its place by reducing friction in a very ordinary daily task.
When it makes sense to order one instead of printing it yourself
If you only need one or two holders and do not want to deal with bed adhesion, scaling variants, or slicer setup, it can be easier to have the part made for you. That is especially true for basic household utility prints where convenience matters more than the hobby side of the process.

Ownership and print-offer note
The public Printables page data exposes excludeCommercialUsage: false, which suggests commercial use may be allowed, but the exact human-readable license wording should still be confirmed directly on the source listing before treating the exact file as a broad sellable catalog item. Editorial coverage is straightforward, but GoodPrints3D should avoid blanket resale claims for the exact design without that direct license confirmation.
Common questions
Will this lid holder fit every IKEA 365+ setup?
No. Check the specific container-lid sizes you use most, how much wall or cabinet space you have, and whether you want vertical or side-by-side access before printing a batch.
Is PLA good enough for a lid organizer like this?
Usually yes for normal indoor kitchen use. PETG becomes a better choice if the holder will take more flex, sit near warmth, or get heavier daily use.
Should you print a full set at once?
Only after you confirm the first piece fits the lids you actually own. This kind of organizer works best when the first sample proves the spacing and mounting feel right.
When is it worth ordering one instead of printing it yourself?
Order it when you want a tidy kitchen result without spending time testing fit, finish, and mounting details on your own printer.

Editorial take
This is a strong GoodPrints3D Featured Files candidate because it solves an everyday problem in a way normal people can understand instantly. It is not decorative fluff, it already shows heavy public engagement, and it broadens the Featured Files lane into useful kitchen organization without repeating the same desk-and-garage stories.
If your container lids currently live in a sliding pile at the back of a drawer, this is a very defensible print to move up the queue.
