Build-A-Cooler

Build-A-Cooler

An well-insulated cooler printed to the size you need, with your words in big letters on every side.

$7.99

FROM $49.99 printed & shipped

Start from a ready-made cooler or set your own inside size, choose how thick the walls are, put a word on each side and pick three colors. Before you buy, the page shows how big it comes out and how long it keeps ice.

Configure & buy

Takeout that rides home hot, a six-pack that stays cold, lunch with an ice pack and room for a drink: give it the inside you need and the cooler builds itself around it. Thick printed walls hold the cold, the lid seals on a ridge around the rim, and two wedge clips latch it shut. Carry it by a handle on the lid, a fold-down handle on each side, or both.

Every side can carry a word in big raised letters, and the badge on the lid prints in three colors on a multicolor printer.

Print using PETG, ABS or other hydrophobic material as the cooler will see steam, condensation and liquid.

Highlights

Made for what you carry

Set the inside to fit takeout boxes, cans, lunch, medicine or ice cream pints, or start from one of seven ready-made sizes.

Keeps it cold

Build your cooler

Inside

Measure what goes in. Height is from the floor to the underside of the lid.

Insulation

The walls are the insulation: printed with a light infill they are mostly trapped air. Thicker walls keep ice longer and make the outside bigger.

Words on the sides

Big raised capitals, one size on every side, as large as the cooler allows. Leave a side blank to keep it plain. Letters, numbers and - ! ? ’ . , # +. Put a / where you want a second line: COLD/BEER.

Handles

The top handle folds flat toward the back and swings up over the middle so you can carry the cooler with one hand; with it, the badge moves to the front of the lid. The side handles fold down against the sides and swing up to carry the cooler two-handed.

Colors

The ice time is an estimate for a cooler packed with ice cubes in still air. Sun, a hot car or opening it often shortens it; frozen bottles or a block of ice last longer than cubes.

Add your printer

We size every model to your printer, so we need to know how big it can print. It’ll be saved for the next person with the same machine.

These are the printable sizes — the biggest part your printer can actually make, the numbers your slicer shows as the build volume. Not the bed or the removable plate, which are usually a little bigger.

Optional — build plate and printer-stand measurements

The build plate is the removable sheet you pop prints off; it’s usually a little bigger than the printable area. A plate rack is cut to the sheet, not the bed.

A printer stand is built around your printer’s feet. Give us all four and we can build you one — or skip them and add them later. Measure the BASE — the slab it stands on — not the machine’s widest point. Gantry legs, Z columns and X arms usually overhang the base and hold up nothing.

Where to measure your printer's feet Looking down on the printer's base with the front at the bottom. A is the full width of the base across the front. B is the diameter of one foot. C is from the base's front edge back to the center of the front foot. D is from the base's side edge in to that same center. FRONT rear feet — not needed A D C B
Looking down on the base, front at the bottom.

My printers

Every model is sized to the printer doing the printing, and the logo and engraved sizes come as color inlays only where you can print them. The one at the top is the one new configurations start on — pick any row to make it that.

Adding one is the same picker: choose it in My Printer, or .

Choose your colors

Every model on the site opens in these three. Primary is the largest surface, secondary the part that contrasts with it, and tertiary the accent — feet, trim, the parts that tie it together.
