This is a great storage solution for small things. A hinged box print in place, in 1 piece. There are 2 print profiles, 1 for the box and 1 for the hinged insert tray.
It's not mandatory to print the hinged insert tray, it's an option to complete the box.
The box has a closing mechanism and clicks the bottom and top part together.
Simple to print model
Low cost print
No assembly for the box
Great organizer for small things: medicine, fishing stuff, small bolts, …
Dimensions for the box:
Width: 40 mm
Height: 17 mm for top and bottom, 34 mm in total when closed
Length: 60 mm
Guide for the box:
Select the print profile for the box
When you printed the box, please let it cool down completely
Gently start moving the lid towards the bottom part to start movement
The hinges are very strong and you can open and close the box hundreds of times without any problem
Assembly guide for the hinged insert tray:
Select and print the print-profile for the ‘hinged insert tray’. The parts will be printed by object
Check the picture below for assembly
Check the 2 rear swing arms, there is a right and left one. The front arms are the same. Just gently click them in place.
I used a piece of double sided tape to hold the tray to the box
printed with iBOSS PLA +. cheep filament and turned out nice. i did print the tiny swing arms separately at 100% infill. Almost same print time as 15% default. Newdusk mentioned his turned out “flimsy”. solid at 100%. thanks for a fun project.
I printed both of these. Prints came out great but the pins for the inset box were a little too flimsy and also the pins that go into the holes were a little loose. That's probably unavoidable because of the tiny size of the arms and pins.
I might try to make a remix that's 150-200% of base size just for fun.
Thanks for the review. What kind of filament did you use? I used Pla+ and the arms were quite strong. Also the pins fit well. maybe it's a kind of printer to printer thing or some filament calibration.
I did notice some weaker parts when using Pla Matt.
Please let me know about the filament. I want to design my models as best as possible and learn from comments.
Can you tell me what kind of filament you are using please? When using PLA matt, I noticed the parts are less strong than using regular PLA. I printed these boxes with hinged inserts and bigger samples multiple times and found the current settings the best on my printer.
Just let me know, so I can improve my models.
Thanks.
As a fisherman I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart! The object takes you back to the time when they gave HARD boxes and not plastic ones that break just by looking at them! I'm not able to design them and I was planning on looking for them but then I gave up because I didn't think I'd find one ready and now here it is! finished printing for 18 hours I think I'll print 6 in a row!
Thank you so much especially for the fun of having us print this!
