Mountable storage boxes
Print Profile(2)


Bill of Materials
- 3.5 x 30mm screws x 2: between 2-4 per plate depending on weight (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Drywall-Black-Threaded-Plasterboard-Screws/dp/B0CBZK8SW1)
Description
This is a storage box that is 8cm by 8.5cm and is 6cm deep. For those that like inches that's 3 1/8th by 3 ¼ by 2 3/8 inches. There are a million other storage boxes on the site so why did I build this?
- Most storage boxes are either small of flimsy. I wanted something that could hold screws, bolts and nails
- Stackable boxes aren't actually that convenient to use. If you have a large stack of boxes then getting the bottom box can be a hassle
- I wanted something that could be stacked on the vertical supports of my 3d printing shelf
These boxes have a couple of big differences:
- they're big enough to hold a good amount of stuff. I can easily put a box of 200 70mm by 5mm screws in one box
- they're sturdy enough to hold the weight when fully filled with metal (bolts, screws, nuts, etc)
- I can have a big vertical stack of them and I can just slide of the box I want from anywhere in the stack without risking knocking down the stack and spilling their contents
- They're not going to get deformed by holding a heavy weight. Some of the smaller boxes I've printed lose their shape (and then cannot be stacked).
- You can mount between 1 and 5 boxes in one go using a mounting plate. If you want to mount lots of boxes, print multiple mounting plates. it makes having a nice, neat line of boxes easy.
I've printed about 20 of these boxes so far and am probably going to print another 15 or so to hold a mix of stuff.
I've printed everything here on a mix of P1S, X1C and H2D. Each print these without any issue.
