I always feel a little down when I have to toss those plastic thingies that come inside ammo boxes from the factory. Plus, I've been needing a big ol' container to stash all my ammo during my reloading sessions. So, guess what? I dove in and whipped up yet another ammo box design.
Give those factory plastic inserts a second life: Yep, I wanted to make use of those plastic bits from the ammo boxes I buy.
Keep it budget-friendly with 3D printing: I went for the frugal route and designed it so it's easy to 3D print without any fancy support structures.
No fuss, just pick it up: I made sure the ammo stays snug and safe, even when you're grabbing the box from the bottom.
Made to fit standard S&B 100x50x30 ammo inserts: This thing should work fine with other brands too, but just in case, do a little measuring and adjust the model to match your ammo brand.
Stack 'em up for stability: To keep things neat on your shelf, I designed these to stack up easily and stay steady.
Better be worry than sorry: For extra security I have also created version with tight tolerance sliding door, but I still like slide-in model better.
Wall it up like a spider: I used the Arachne wall setting.
No need for scaffolding: Skip the support structures.
Lay it down on its backside: For printing, stand it up like a tall drink on its back.
Materials for the job: Go with PLA, PET-G, ABS, or ASA. Whatever floats your boat.
So, there you have it. Now I've got a snazzy new ammo box and I'm not shedding a tear for those plastic inserts anymore!
