Case for Swatch Display Boards with Fusion 360 Source Files

My Swatch Boards were constantly in disarray, with no proper place to store them. I rarely needed them but wanted them easily accessible when I did. That's why I designed this case—to accommodate the unmodified boards snugly and keep them organized.

Capable of holding up to 5 boards, this case features built-in dividers ensuring a secure fit even if you have fewer boards. Plus, a thoughtful hole at the back allows for easy retrieval of middle boards without disturbing the rest. Outer slots provide convenient access to the boards.

What's more, there is no assembly needed. Simply place your boards inside and attach the cover—it's as easy as that.

Removing the cover is also a breeze. Just press on one side of the marked areas, and it will pop out the connector, releasing the cover effortlessly.

Design Choices - Why I Opted for Fillets Over Chamfers

In the world of 3D printing, chamfers often steal the spotlight for their print-friendly nature, thanks to their ability to tackle overhangs at a 45° angle. However, here's where my design takes a different path. I've meticulously fine-tuned the overhangs in this model, allowing me to embrace fillets instead of chamfers.

Why? Because I believe in the power of a smooth, rounded feel along the corners. When it comes down to it, fillets and chamfers offer distinct tactile experiences. And since you're likely to interact with this object frequently, I wanted to ensure it exudes a sense of premium quality with every touch.

So, please, let's stick with fillets for now.
They are not only easy to print but also elevate the overall tactile feel of the model.

Customizing

The Fusion 360 source file is fully parametric, allowing you to customize the case for your preferred board effortlessly. Simply input the precise dimensions of your board, and the model will handle tolerances seamlessly. Adjusting the radius is as straightforward as lowering the number.

For instance, let's consider the Swatch Display Board from Bambu Labs with the following dimensions:

With: 107.9 mm
Length: 134.3 mm
Depth: 3.5 mm
Radius: 5 mm

Transferring these dimensions to Fusion 360 is now a breeze. Set the desired number of boards for storage and refine the model accordingly.

Upon completion, export the components individually.

Always suggest using step files instead of stl files.

For consistently optimal print settings:

Utilize any of my downloadable profiles.
Choose either the Case or the Cover.
Right-click on the object and opt for “Replace with STL.”
Select the corresponding Step-File you've just exported.
Ensure adaptive layer lines, particularly the top and bottom layers, are smoother for improved layer adhesion and a refined outer finish.

Now, simply hit print. 👌

The initial version experienced layer adhesion issues, prompting adjustments to ensure optimal layer adhesion. However, these tweaks led to compromised surface finishes and sharp corners. The update rectifies these issues, ensuring smooth surfaces and eliminating sharp edges on the case.

I hope you enjoy the design! Please leave a comment or rating if you like it and share your feedback!
