Remixed the original model by Nina1982.
I noticed some artifacts in the original file, for some it probably wouldn't bother them. My OCD got the better of me, so I cleaned up each piece. I printed the original container and stored the modified discs in that, but that's when I found the next issue.
The original container had ~0.7mm walls, and with my kids I knew it wouldn't last. The lid was also quite a bit bigger then the bottom, so it was just a place on top. After my kids knocked it over a few times and having to clean up the pieces, I made a whole new container from scratch following the same general size and design. I thickened all sides to 2mm and I also made the lid so that it would fit on with a Friction fit. I liked the original idea of the inside of the lid being a tray to put the discs in as they are working with them, so I made sure to keep that feature as well.
