.38-55 Winchester, Head Down, Spring Latch, Snap Hinge Modular Ammo Box

This version has these improved features:

• hinge that snaps the box to and bottom together
• two box tops - one that prints as a single part and one that is stronger, but requires simple assembly
• ramped front catch
• text for multicolor

Look in my Ammo Boxes Collection https://www.printables.com/social/261776-brass_ring/collections/167118 to see my ammo boxes with different latches and hinges options.
 

Other ammo boxes of this type can be found in my Single Spring Latch Ammo Boxes Collection https://www.printables.com/social/261776-brass_ring/collections/176715.

These cartridge boxes are printed as separate parts that are printed in orientations chosen to maximize strength and then snapped together.

The box halves require moderate infill (10%-20%) and can be printed with no supports - except for the single part top, but I prefer to paint on supports under the flat sections on the latch bracket, and the latch catch. I printed with 0.20 layer height in PETG and PLA.
