Description

 

This is my first attempt for a parametric box model. There are two versions: a) 1 Latch - 2 Hinges, b) 2 Latches - 4 Hinges. Print profiles are just for a demonstration version of the boxes. For 2 latches version I recommend to set the latch offset to 20 or 30 mm so it will be easier to hold the box on its sides and then releasing the both latches using your ring fingers or middle fingers.

 

Box contains print in place hinges and it closing directly in the middle of the box. Box is not predicted to have adjustable height of the top and bottom part of the box.

 

Hinges have 0.15 mm tolerance for tight fit of the box and easier movement just after the print.

Anti-dust wall in the middle of the box have 0.1 mm tolerance to eliminate the play between the top and bottom part of the box.

Latch have the tension spring that provide self-closing ability so you can close the box with one hand by simple push.

To install the latch you just need to squeeze it and put it into its place in the front of the box.

You can add the text on the top or whatever graphics you want.

For inside of the box you can design the insert for the destination item. It will probably require 0.05 mm tolerance from each side for a tight fit. Base inside tolerance is set to 0.2 mm which means there is 0.1 gap between the destination item and the interior. To edit this one you need Fusion 360.

 

On MakerWorld Customizable model you're allowed to edit the inside dimensions based on the destination item size. 0.1 mm gap arround is already added so you just enter the item size.

 

Dimentions you can edit on site:

  • width,
  • length,
  • height,
  • hinge offset,
  • latch offset (for dual-latch option).

Model have no limit for the hinge and latch offset so be careful not to glitch the model :)

 

Print parameters for the latch are: 6 walls, 15% gyroid (doesn't really matter), 5 top and bottom shell layer for the maximum strength and properly working spring mechanism of the latch.

 

Good luck :)
