This my take on the SMD Component Magazine.

This version features
  • DIN-Rail mount with printed flexure
  • Press-fit lid to prevent accidents, can optionally be secured with a screw
  • Easy one handed operation by pulling the protective foil backwards
  • Two flat spots perfect for labeling (templates included!)
  • Parametric source files for easy editing

 

Hardware

The lid can optionally be secured with an M3x4mm heat-set insert and 5+mm M3 screw.
It isn't required, however, as the lid by itself is already quite snug.

 

Print settings

I printed mine with 2 walls at 10% Infill and 3 top/bottom layers; 0.28mm layer height and 0.5mm line width.

The design uses 0.1mm tolerances for the press fit, so if your printer can't achieve those I suggest editing the Fusion360 design and increasing tolerance_loose (for the tape) and tolerance_tight (for the lid).

I recommend using ironing or a quick pass with sandpaper to take off any spiky bits, though it also works alright without this.

Make sure to place your Z-seams so they don't rub on the tape, check that the Z-seam on the body and lid are in different spots, and also reinforce the flexure with some additional walls.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

The model was remade from scratch, combining the improvements from the source models.

The only original feature is the press-fit lid.
