Nice, I will definitely print this. When I needed to cut a piece of wood in half at 45 degree I used an approach which is way unsafer
Good idea but in my case waste of plastic after all
- No good margin for tollerances, swatches with elephant foot or little to thick/overextruded would fit only using force and will be hard to remove.
- Hinges designed for print in place, not separately - hard to assembly without shaving plastic or risk of breaking the parts. Remixing it to have holes for filament or small size screw may be good idea to make assembly lot easier
- Hard to support lock mechanism, if you want to print it anyway try slicing and printing part of the model first (+ another part for swatch tollerance test)
- Add partial modifiers for hinges and locking mechnaizm to increase infill locally ans save some plastic
Really cool! I totally want to print ten of them! Did I read correctly that the s-box needs almost 2kg of filament? (gulp)
@YourPersonalA_477212 After reading this comment i had to check. This approximation for the original model add up all different print files in all variants. so thats 3 different bottom parts in 2 materials. (also a 2 kg empty toolbox is.... not useful)
@YourPersonalA_477212 No, you don't need as much. The lid and bottom took me about 450g of filament. The handle and latches don't add much, so you can print this easily for about 500-550g of filament, depending on your infill and top/bottom layers of course.
Nice job!
