Description

BASIC GENERATOR

This parametric container is ideal for creating suitable cases for various tools and small parts. The internal dimensions and some geometries can be changed via the parameters.
The container is created in the generator on a single print layer. The generated stl file in Bambu Studio can be split into several printing plates using the split object function.

In addition to the dimensions, you can also decide whether a hinged lid or a lid that can be removed completely should be generated.
Depending on the selected parameters, different screw lengths must be used to assemble the container. It is recommended that lockclip_size+2*rip_thickness is a multiple of 5mm so that standard screws can be used.

If there are any problems with the generation of the files, please write me a message so that I can fix this as quickly as possible.

I hope you like the design and I would be happy if you upload the finished containers as a make.

CUTOUT GENERATOR

Make a picture of the things you want to put in your container. It is very important that the svg is scaled properly! After outlining the part on the picture adjust the size of the whole image to your cutout size like in the image below [CTRL+Shift+D]. Now export the image as .svg format and tranfer the width[px], height[px] and dpi to the makerworld gernator and import the svg there. The container should now be generated with your specific cutout. Have fun and enjoy!

tolerances on the hinges are a little too tight basically had to thread the m3 screws into the holes. unfortunately my a1 mini decided to not be amazing at printing the hinges on the lid and the imperfection that it laid down made a weak spot that cracked right apart when screwing in the hinge screws. despite the tight tolerances it otherwise printed the bottom amazing, and the latches work great. Will give the lid another shot tomorrow when I get home from work.

thanks for the feedback. You can increase the rip thickniss. it will increase the thickness of the hinge, too.

@chaneyt2131

Replying to @RubenMTS :

issue is it can only increase by 1mm. So if using a 3mm bolt 4mm is to big. If you gave us a option to up it by like .25 or .5. This would allow for the hinge to not get caught but hold the proper size bolt. Threading the bolt into a hing like this is asking for it to break as ours have.

@newclarity

I'm also having this issue! I think adjustable screw size would be a good addition

@Gert.M

I really like the setup! The only problem I have is the alignment of the locking clips. With 2 Clips the bed alignment is not okay, also the clips are in the model.

@RubenMTS

oh thank you I will check that. can u tell me what sizes u used?

@Gert.M

Replying to @RubenMTS :

Please see attached picture. The clips are no longer in the model it self, why I do not know :P Only the alignment of the clips to the bed is not okay

@RubenMTS

Replying to @Gert.M :

ok I allready fixed the issue with the collision. Im on it to fix the allignment to the bed.

@kodikat

if you notice, when using large lock clip size and large rip thickness the hole does not go all the way thru. I didn't notice until I printed it, I will fix it with a dremel tool EDIT: I tried looking at code, but I am not great with OpenSCAD and I don't know German! Thanks for the model, hopefully this can help make it more robust!

@RubenMTS

thanks for the feedback. I will fix it

@RubenMTS

It is fixed now! I hope you got it done with the dremel

@kodikat

Replying to @RubenMTS :

Thanks! I will post my results once I get it done!

Came out great! Had to only print the latch by itself and then move the box down because the box and the latch were not on the same plane. If there was a way to separate each component to its own stl would be great too, but probably a limitation of the generator. Easy enough to fix in the slicer.

@user_645655138

well not the best print. i tryed petg with the green (maybe needed to be dryed, first try, stuff to work on) and pla for the red. had a few issue base wasnt printing corner and i need to fix the manifold with the top. havent put hinge pin in yet. but feels like they wont open or fit, when open. tomorrow project. cool thing. i mite try a smaller tip with slower print at a later date.

@RubenMTS

a srew will make it way more smooth. I had the same issue but when the screw is in it works

@user_645655138

Replying to @RubenMTS :

hinge works well :) gonna make another soon

@djjoris

Verry cool paramedic. I needed 280mm lenght. But the maximum was 240mm. So i scaled it further in the slicer. So now it fits my 3d scanner and accessoires. Thank you for the model!

Came out great! I’m a bit new to printing so I ran into issues of my own making, but this printed incredibly well. definitely going to make some more in the future.

Very nice Parametric model. I've made a couple so far, and they all work out very easily. I do kinda wish there was a ribbless version so it was easier to apply a waterproof coating.

need help on my print if any way to get strong this area

@wsuerk

I would suggest printing the hinges on their side. This will rotate the layer lines 90 degrees and strengthen them in the direction of force (the box flipping open). In general, you want to try to avoid having layer lines perpendicular to the direction of force.

@JJTechPrints

Excellent design and great instructions. I set all of the sliders down to their minimum settings to test a print. I had to set 'detect thin walls' due to having wall_thickness set to 0. There were visible holes in the printed walls, but container is still functional. I suggest setting minimum value for 'wall_thickness' to 1 instead of 0 so user cannot set 0 value. Overall the design is perfect!
