Description

PDF

The set of insertions tools I purchased online came in a simple plastic box, so I decided to make this print to keep the parts better organized.

Print Instructions

Print in PLA using the 3mf files provided, otherwise :

  • 0.2mm layer height
  • 2 perimeters
  • 15% grid infill

After printing and removal from the print bed, flex the hinges very slightly and then slowly increase the amount of flex to work the hinges free.

Optional : Put some foam rubber in the lid (see photos) to keep the brass pieces in place inside the box.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Ruthex Soldering Tips Box
by patrick
Original model was switched to draft or deleted

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I redesigned the print from scratch :

  • print-in-place hinged lid 
  • better spacing for the holes for the brass pieces
  • “finger-grip” cutouts for the main brass piece for easier removal from the box
