I made this about a year ago and it's one of my favorite creations. Even though I made a mistake in measuring the bottom and had to cut out some slots. One day I'll print it again, but it used a ton of filament and took forever last time.

It seems to me like missing the forest for the trees as well.

Definitely. I feel like people get so focused on one thing and then ignore all the other issues that are harming them as well. Like people will be worried about microplastics, but keep using a 20 year old teflon pan that's scraped to hell every day. Or people that love to tell you that artificial sweeteners are killing you, but then go out binge drinking every week. Eh, pick your battles. It's definitely risk/reward in a lot of ways. I know I'm getting a lot more microplastics from other things, and things out of my control, and the negligible amount I might get from this organizer is ok with me because it makes me happy.
