Large Toolbox

Sharing a large toolbox.

Limited by the print size of the P1 series, I designed the toolbox to be assembled from separate parts.

I bet some people will say it's better to just buy a finished product than to spend so much material. Indeed, the larger the printed box, the higher the material cost, and vice versa for smaller ones, with a crossover point between the two. So I considered making a box with less than one spool (1KG) of filament. After several revisions, I finally settled on this size: 320mm (L) x 220mm (W) x 220mm (H). The final material required is about 840g, which is an acceptable amount for me.

Toolbox features:

1. I set the line width to 0.6mm and the wall thickness to 1.2mm, so the print head only needs to pass twice to achieve the wall thickness, saving material and greatly reducing print time. However, this will result in relatively noticeable horizontal lines, but I don't think this is a big issue for a toolbox.

2. Since the wall thickness is relatively thin, some reinforcing ribs are added to ensure a certain strength.

3. Dovetail joints are used for splicing, requiring only some glue, with no additional hardware.

4. Assembly is very simple, and you can print it in your favorite colors. I used the color scheme from the movie JOKER.
