I felt the need to resolve the issue of Bambulab not providing the good old premium allen keys. This model is my take on the premium allen key handles, I hope you will like it:)   LINK: ALLEN KEY CASE

A1 MINI TOOLBOX

/ Print-in-place

The perfect mini toolbox for the Bambulab A1 Mini is here! 🧰✨ Designed to match the compact power of the A1 Mini, this classic print-in-place toolbox keeps your setup neat, organized, and ready to roll. Small but mighty — just like your printer! 😎

Hop on and see why it’s quickly becoming a must-have for every A1 Mini owner! 💬🙌

Update:

1.) Based on the many feedback I might made a mistake in the cover photo. Purely based on the pic you can assume that the hotend tray goes to the top half of the case, but I only did it that way becasue it looked satisfying on the photo. It is designed to be placed upon the bottom half of the box ( paralell with the bottom half, facing in the same direction). I am saying this because if you use it the other way, upon opening the lid, the hotends fall out. ( also you tend to think the design is worthless, gets sad, even depressed, write a bad review and print a different model. And I do not want that:D)

This collection contains the following versions:

• With Bambulab logo:
  • AMS version: altough it can be printed with AMS, I would rather recommend the non AMS version due to the less waste it produce, and the cross coloring of the lighter filament.
  • Non-AMS version: print the box and the logo separately, and press it in place later.
• No logo version

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

/ Illustrations based on the bigger toolbox model /

• When closing the latch, it reaches is designated ‘closed’ state by deforming. If you choose to print it from a more rigid material you might need to file it to reach perfect closing. If you print it from a more flexible material like PETG, your print should work without any filing. If you find closing difficult, file the surface shown below.

  

• There are multiple overhangs where support used, but sometimes they are hard to spot. Pay attention to these places, because missing to remove support can cause headaches.

• The small parts on the photo above you can see small latches for the container covers. You can insert them by slightly bending the container covers ( gently:D)

If you are printing the models on non-Bambulab printers please bare in mind the following:

• Use support at the bottom part of the lock, at the inner cavity of the small enclosures lock and at the logo seating
• Prevent using any support on the hinges and on the hinge of the lock.
• Increase infill at the hinge section and its close proximity.

Got thoughts, ideas, or suggestions? I’d love to hear from you! Whether it's feedback on the design, suggestions for improvements, or just a quick note to say hi — feel free to share in the comments.

Also, I’m always super curious to see how these prints turn out in the wild! 🌍
