Gridfinity 4x4 transport box with sliding magnetic lid

Gridfinity 4x4 transportbox with sliding magnetic lid with your text on it.

Functions:

• Holds up to 16 Gridfinity 1x1x6 boxes or mixed sizes up to 4x4x6 to transport them.
• The sliding lid closes 0.5mm above the boxes so noting should fall out.
• Add your own name or text on the lid in your slicer. See instructions below. No CAD tool needed!
• The lid is held in place by 6 magnets with Ø6mm x 3mm in thickness which are pressed into the prepared holes. No glue needed. 

Here are some pictures:

Parts needed:

• 6x 6x3mm magnets (Ø6mm, thickness 3mm)

Note: 

• Double check the orientation of the magnets before you press them in the box and the lid fully, so that they will keep the box closed… ;-)

Printing instructions:

• 0.2 speed profile.
• No support needed.
• Using a brim can help if you have adhesion problems on your print bed.
• Textured sheet usage could add a nice texture to the parts.
  • If you use a textured sheet, let it cool down completely after the print and wait for the part gets loose by itself. Do not pull on it to avoid ripping off the letters! 
  • In my case it takes 45-60 minutes after the print has ended and the part just lays loose on the print bed.
  • Do not touch the print bed and clean it with Isopropanol alcohol before printing.
• Adding the custom text: 
  • Two (2) color changes in the lid part are required at about 1mm and 2mm height to create the color change for the text. To read how such a color change is done, you will find a really good article here.
  • I have added you an extra lid with no text for Prusa Slicer ≥2.8 where you simply can modify the text, font and size. The mode should be “cutout” to cut the text in the lid. You can read more about the text tool in Prusa Slicer here. 

Happy printing =)
