The file 'ToolBox 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 2.8MB.
Open toolbox. All parts should be printable as is with no supports.
Directions for printing:
Print with handle horizontal for best strength. The screws require a #8mm allen wrench. They will sit flush with the box and the handle will not spin after tightening. Print screws with allen head opening on build plate. I printed the body of the box with PETG and suggest to use an adhesive on a rigid build plate since this is a large box and can be possible to warp depending on what filament you use. During my first test, the PETG I used stuck great to the magnetic flexible plate, but pulled it up.
I have included 3 different screw sizes just in case your tolerances differ. On the inside of the screws, they are labeled with test for "L" as in loosest, "M' for medium, and "T" for tightest screw. I would suggest using the loosest or medium screw. I have included small section test pieces for the body of the toolbox, and also a section of the handle so that you can test the fits before committing to a full print for filament saving purposes.
I printed my box successfully with a .6mm nozzle, 20% infill, 3 perimeters/walls, and layer height of .4mm on my CR10. I would recommend not to scale the model, as this has not been tested, and would throw off the hole sizes such as the #8mm allen wrench screw fitting. I included 3 different sized boxes with the corresponding sized handle.
The sizes are:
270L X 180w X 195h (fits CR10)
235L X 157w X 170h (fits Prusa MK3/S)
210L X140w X 160h (fits Ender 3)
Please check the file description for the matching handle size.
Hope you all enjoy this box. If you need a more specific size, let me know.
I'd really appreciate if you post your makes! Thanks.
