I've only been in the world of 3D printing for a few months and space is already starting to be a problem. Trying to avoid the massive use of traditional cereal boxes, I saw ThaTony's design and Mentuis remix.
Reading a comment from a user, two improvements came to mind:
1.- Why don't we use the corners to put silica housings like many of us do in our AMS?
2.- Is it possible to make the swatches integrated into the space of the box itself without protruding? It would make stacking the boxes much easier! Theoretically, Kurly74 swatches can be used in these boxes, but I preferred to maintain the dimensions, but with a thickness of 1.8mm. This way they enter much easier. I have added an example so you can customize it. Put thickness scales if you like them, etc.
I have considered this design a remix, because without them I would not have thought of all this. But I really designed the box and its accessories from the beginning in SolidWorks.
In the 3MF box there are two trays with desiccant lids. In an initial test I did it with Bambu PLA Matte, and the pieces that are marked with a 100% scale fit me perfectly.
When I went to make a significant quantity with SUNLU PLA Matte, I scaled them Z=100.3% to get a perfect fit. Keep this in mind before printing many parts, do your own test.
As always, the feasibility of making many boxes like these depends on the material. These are the weights of the material:
BOX >>> 299,93g
LID >>> 128,96g
DESICCANT LIDS >>> 6,29g
TOTAL: 435,18g
I managed to buy a 10Kg pack of SUNLU PLA Matte for 102.26€, which means that each box costs me 4.45€.
The box is prepared to use 8 6x3mm magnets (it is not totally necessary but it is highly recommended). When you place them, if you put glue, use a minimum amount so that the magnet has room later. A very small drop is enough.
