Description

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL MODEL, I NOW UPLOAD HERE AND ON PRINTABLES SO THAT PEOPLE CAN'T STEAL MY MODELS FOR LIKES !

I designed this crate to store objects around my house. The 4 sides are snapped in place during assembly. When fully open, the 4 sides snap into each other to keep the crate sturdy, and it can easily be folded for storage.

The dimensions are 15x10cm but it can easily be scaled up if needed, the snap fit should work with scaled versions. The height is 8cm when fully open and only 12mm in the folded position.

The mechanism was specifically designed to be 3d printed in a particular orientation, to be as durable as possible, especially if the crate is opened and folded multiple times.

Printing and Assembly

Parts : Print 1x Bottom, 2x Short_side and 2x Long_side

Printing profile : I printed all 5 pieces using the standard PrusaSlicer profile with 10% infill.

Orientation : The STL files already have the right orientation.

Supports : No support needed

Material : I used PETG for durability but PLA is fine as well

Printing time : Around 7h30 for all 5 pieces at 0.2mm per layer on my MK3S

Assembly :
On every side, the face that was directly onto the print bed should be facing ouside.
The sides are snapped into place on their pivot point. It is a tight fit but it is important for the crate to then stay in one piece. You must press quite hard, if it's too hard you can sand the pivot a bit.

To open the crate, first open the 2 long sides, then open the 2 short sides and snap then into the longer sides.

I scaled them down to 39% and the hinges still work. Fantastic model, thank you for sharing 😊

when printing we ran out of filament and didn’t notice for hours but then it picked up right where it left off when we switched it

@fernandorprado

What printer are you using and do you have AMS? This is pretty cool

@chh523

Replying to @fernandorprado :

I guess a pause in the printing process and a filament change would do it.

Replying to @fernandorprado :

I have the P1S w/AMS, and the scenario where the user didn't notice filamentchange cannot happen unless you have AMS (or similar hw) since the filamentchange is manual work if you don't have the AMS and pretty hard to not notice the colordifference... having said that, the AMS is truely AMAZING!! Don't have too much experience with 3D printing yet, but I'm actually considering more than one AMS, to a degree because of the backup feature (auto switch from empty filament to backup), but guess I have something to answer grandparents and family when they ask for birthday and xmas gifts... 🤣🤞 (or a donation for the investment!) love it!!
