Description
Make-A-Crate - Parametric Scale Crate Model
The Fusion 360 file has been added to the profile so you can adjust parameters to make any size crate. Adjust parameters for length, width, height, scale, and with or without skids.
The user parameters are
height - The desired height of the crate.
width - The desired length of the crate.
length - The desired width of the crate.
scale - Enter the scale as a whole number. (For O enter 48. For S enter 64. For HO enter 87.)
skids - Enter 1 to produce a crate with skids or 0 for a crate without skids.
Several different crate models have been provided as STL files. Utilize the Fusion 360 (.f3d) file to adjust parameters to make custom sizes.
The print profiles published use the .2mm nozzle, .06mm layer lines, Bambu Cool Plate, 15% Gyroid Infill.
Crates without skids print well with the bottom of the crate flat to the build plate.
Crates with skids are trickier to print. I've had some success printing with skids ends oriented 45 degrees to the build plate with support. I have also been able to print O Scale Crates with skids flat to the build plate, but the bottom of the crate turns out pretty ugly.
I have printed several variations in HO & O Scale. If you run into problems or suggestions please give me some feedback.
