If a model fits into multiple categories, refer to the following guidelines to determine the most appropriate placement.
Storage models should be classified based on what is being stored and the primary use scenario, rather than simply using generic terms like "storage box" or "tool holder" as the sole basis for classification.
Rule of thumb
Item → Application scenario
Here are some examples of how to classify storage box models:
| Model Purpose | ➡ | Basis for Classification | ➡ | Official Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Storing 3D printing filament, spools, or material | ➡️ | Specifically for filament management | ➡️ | 3D Printers > Filament Management |
| Storing 3D printer nozzles, accessories, maintenance tools, etc. | ➡️ | Specifically for 3D printers and their accessories | ➡️ | 3D Printers > Accessories Storage |
| Storing screws, nuts, and other workshop parts | ➡️ | Mainly for workshop, workbench, or tool room use | ➡️ | Tools > Workshop & Tool Storage |
| Storing power tools such as drills and wrenches | ➡️ | Mainly for tool management | ➡️ | Tools > Workshop & Tool Storage |
| Storing everyday household items | ➡️ | Mainly for everyday home use | ➡️ | Household > Storage & Organization |
| Storing items on a desk | ➡️ | Mainly for desk or computer desk use | ➡️ | Household > Desk Setup |
For animal models, the first step is to determine whether they contain movable structures, and then classify them based on their attributes.
Rule of thumb
Movable → articulated Toys / Fidget Toys
Static → real-world animal → Animals
Static → fictional or mythical creature → Creatures
If the model has clear hinges, joints, or other movable parts, it should be classified under:
Toys & Games > Articulated Toys
or
Toys & Games > Fidget Toys
Here's how to differentiate between the two:
Examples include:
If the model is static, contains no movable parts, and represents an animal that actually exists or once existed in the real world, it belongs in:
Miniatures > Animals
Examples include:
If the model is static, contains no movable parts, and represents a creature that does not exist in the real world — such as mythical or fantasy beings — it belongs in:
Miniatures > Creatures
Examples include:
Human figure models should be classified based on character attributes and intended use.
Rule of thumb
IP-based or character-based → Characters
Artistic expression → Sculptures
Miniature use → Miniatures
If the model represents a recognizable original character or an IP-based character, regardless of articulation or artistic sculpting style, it belongs in:
Toys & Games > Characters
Examples include:
If the model is not a specific character but is created primarily for artistic expression, form exploration, or decorative display, it belongs in:
Art > Sculptures
Examples include:
If the model is designed for tabletop games, wargames, miniature scenes, or collection at a miniature scale with a clear proportional purpose, it belongs in:
Miniatures > People
Examples include:
