Customizable Nozzle Box!

Introduction

Wanted to design an easily customizable nozzle box for those without CAD skills or who simply don't want to mess with designing something from scratch. I tried to include all the basic settings and some more advanced settings to help people with more specific needs or artistic flairs.

How To Use

• Download openSCAD
• Download the print files, make sure you extract all .scad files into the same directory
• Open NozzleBox.scad with openSCAD
• Set your settings in the right hand pane (there are several sections which you can expand by clicking the little arrow)
• Press F6 to render the model (Depending on the complexity it could take several minutes)
• Press F7 to save as an stl
• Alternately use one of the (most less than practical) presets
• Enjoy!

Note: Depending on your design I recommend flipping the lid in your slicer such that the top is facing the build plate, otherwise you will most likely need to use supports.

Features

• Setting the number of rows and nozzles in each row
• Custom labels for each row that automatically scale to fit with customizable fonts, sizes and height/indentation. Up to 16 unique rows are currently supported so go crazy and collect all the weirdest nozzles you can find!
• Hexagon or circle shaped cut-outs so you can fit the nozzle into the box in whatever orientation you'd like
• Customizable nozzle holes, spacing and clearance height so you can fit anything from V6,  CR-10, Revo to Volcano and Super Volcano Nozzles
• Multiple included lid designs, which can all be customized to your liking
• Support for using an SVG or DXF design for the lid which can be scaled and moved around within openSCAD
• Full control over thicknesses, tolerances and depths of ALL parts so no matter your printers capability you can print the box of your liking
• A nameplate in the center of the lid (which can be disabled for a cleaner look) which you can, of course, customize in any way you wish from font to size to height
• Most importantly the freedom to make whatever goofy box you'd like! A box for fitting a single super volcano nozzle, yup; 100 nozzles each each size, sure; a box with a giant turd design on the lid, why not heck you can even make a simple practical box, Imagine that!

Troubleshooting

If the lid fits too loose  or too tight try changing the “lidTolerance” variable under the “Advanced” section.

Conclusion

I hope someone gets some use out of this and makes something unique, I'd love to see your designs!
