Loved the filament box by @extrutim, but it was too big for my taste.

Description

Found the filament box made by @extrutim, loved the idea but I found them too big. I made a smaller version. Created the models by myself, but you can see I was heavily inspired ;)

The nut and bolt head sink nicely into the hinges, so you hardly see them. Snaps and stays closed by small magnets. Won't tip over if you open it partially ;)

Requirements:

  • 2x M3x12 bolt (hexagon head, can be longer as well)
  • 2x M3 nut
  • 4x 5x5x2 mm magnet (does work without them too)

Easy to assemble:

  1. Print the box in your preferred color
  2. Print the swatch in every filament color you have (20 per box)
  3. Insert the magnets in the cutouts of the bottom and top parts
  4. Insert the nuts into the inner hinge section of the bottom part.
  5. Place the top and bottom part in an open position, insert the M3 bolt and screw it in as far as possible without tightening (make sure the box can easily open and close)
