Box customizable and printable - Boite paramétrable et imprimable

Box with hinge and clasp configurable in Fusion 360 and 3D printable, after printing insert 1.75 mm 3D filament in the holes as axis for the hinge.

You can operate the cover with the mouse to open and close the box (the parameters dialog box must be closed).

Under Fusion to access parameters:

In the DESIGN > MODIFY > fx change parameters area

The "Name" column contains the variable name and the "Comment" column contains an explanation.

All you have to do is modify the values in the "Expression" column as you wish.


All values are in mm except "Chamfer_Yes_No", which can contain 1 for Yes and 0 for No, to round off the box's inner and outer corners and edges.

The following parameters can be modified:

• Inside width of box

• Inside length of box

• Wall thickness

• Inside height of box base

• Inside height of Box lid

• Chamfering of edges and corners for rounding: Yes or No

• Approximate length desired for the hinge modules (the calculation will try to approximate this).

Enter consistent values in the table, the program does not check for errors or outliers.

In the event of a problem: exit the model without saving, and reload it to start again with the default values.

For boxes containing food, use a compatible filament.

I don't know how to transform this Fusion 360 file into a widely used OpenSCAD file, if anyone knows, I'd be interested :) iphone.cesbron@gmail.com

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you notice any anomalies or possible improvements.

=========

Small update to slightly modify the clasp that was forcing a bit, and addition of a "Play" parameter that determines the horizontal space between each hinge module.

STL files remain unchanged.

Box with hinge and clasp fully configurable under Fusion 360 and fully printable. After printing introduce 1.75 mm 3D filament into the holes as hinge pin.

You can operate the cover with the mouse to open and close the box (the parameters dialog box must be closed).

Under Fusion to access the settings :

In the DESIGN space > MODIFY > fx change parameters

You then access a table, the "Name" column contains the name of the variable and "Comment" an explanation.

All you have to do is change the values in the "Expression" column


All values are in mm except "Chamfer_Yes_No" which can contain 1 for Yes and 0 for No, in order to round the corners and the inner and outer edges of the box.

The editable parameters are as follows:

• Inside width of the box

• Inside Length of the box

• Thickness of the walls

• Inside height of the base of the Box

• Inside height of the lid of the box

• Chamfering edges and angles to round them : 1=Yes or 0=No

• Approximate length desired for the modules of the hinge (the calculation will try to approach it)

Enter consistent values in the table, the program does not check for errors or aberrations.

In case of problem : exit the model without saving, and reload it to restart with the default values.

For boxes containing food, provide a compatible filament.

I do not know how to turn this Fusion 360 file into a SCAD file that is very common, if anyone knows, I'm interested :) iphone.cesbron@gmail.com

=========

Small update to slightly modify the clasp which was forcing a little, and addition of a "Jeu" parameter which determines the horizontal space between each hinge module.

STL files remain unchanged.

If the height of the base and lid are identical, you can generate a single STL file and print the 2 parts at the same time. Just remember to disengage them smoothly from each other.

Plan

• a layer height thin enough for the hinge holes to be precise enough

• 3 or 4 top and bottom coats for a good finish.

• 3 contour/perimeter hulls for strength.

• 35% filling

• only the cavity under the base clasp requires supports.

If the height of the base and cover are the same, you can generate a single STL file containing both parts and print them at the same time. You just have to plan to separate them smoothly from one another.

Provide

• A layer height that is thin enough for the holes in the hinges to be precise enough

• 3 or 4 lower and upper layers for finishing.

• 3 contour / perimeter shell for strength.

• 35% filling

• only the cavity under the clasp of the base requires supports.
