You used to see Altoids tins used for project boxes for everything imaginable, but since 3D printers became widespread, it's extremely rare to see the tins used for projects anymore. I know a a lot of people in the makerspace who would only buy Altoids to use the tins afterward for their projects. Now, they just 3D print a custom case.

I think few people were buying Altoids for the box (not nobody, I know exactly what you're talking about, but I'm just saying it was a small piece of the pie) and the fad of Altoids kind of faded.
