Description

This is a small storage box for a Jeep TJ (1997 - 2006) held in place with magnets.
It fits on the right rear fender behind the roll bar and the bottom of the box is contoured to fit without a carpet kit installed.

There are three 1.26" magnets glued into recesses on the bottom to hold it to the Jeep, and a small 3mm magnet at each corner of the box to keep the lid in place.  I glued 4 steel washers to the corners of the lid for the magnets to attach to.

I suppose if you had carpet you could remake the model without the bottom contour or magnets and use Velcro to hold it in place.

This is not a perfect model, but it add some storage to the Jeep.  I would definitely call it a “functional print”.

Printed on an Ender 3 s1 with Overture PLA pro.
We will see how it holds up in the summer with the top off the Jeep.

I printed both pieces at an angle to the bed because it does not fit on my printer and used tree supports. I also used a raft to get the bed adhesion I needed since only a corner of the model was on the bed. (see pictures)
