Description

200-Round .22 LR Storage Box

Design Edit Notes:

Added new “case Insert” file with .25 Hex holes, doing away with the round holes. This has resulted in a much easier and more reliable print. I recommend this file over the round hole version. (12/21/24)
Added new .22 case option that doesn't have built in supports to allow more printing flexibility. (12/12/24)
Added new .22 case insert option with increased hole diameters from 0.24" to 0.25". Use this instead of the original one if you have tolerance issues. This puts the holes 30 thousands over the .22" ammunition size. (12/1/24)

Design Details:

Capacity: Holds up to 200 rounds of .22 LR
Modular design: Allows changing out the insert to fit other types of .22 ammunition without reprinting the entire case.
Support-Free Printing: The model is designed to print without additional supports. Any required support is already built into the CAD file.
Magnetic Lid Retention: The lid is designed to be held in place with four 2x8mm magnets that are added post-print.
Round Projection: The lid can be removed and inserted into the base, which lifts the rounds for easier access. (https://imgur.com/a/F42wNV5)

My Print Settings:

Nozzle Size: 0.4 mm
Layer Height: 0.16 mm (It is safe to print all parts but the “case” at 0.2)
Material: Matte PLA

Loader/Sorter (Added 11/17/24)

See the link to find the sorting/loading tool I made for this case:https://makerworld.com/en/models/798093#profileId-737520

It speeds the loading process considerably.

If you feel the design and print are the best thing since sliced bread, a “buymeacoffee” donation would be an appreciated gesture but not expected. I also accept hardy pats on the back, fist bumps, comments like “this is totally rad” and all other forms of positive affirmation.

The fit is very tight. I'm not sure if it's my printer or your design, but thank you for sharing. Due to how tight it is, it is rather hard to push it out with the lid. hopefully it will loosen up over time.

Is it tight all the way from top to bottom or is it just tight on the side that was against the build plate? The main issue I've seen in the printing process is a little bit of elephants foot on the first layer will shrink the diameter of the holes in that layer. I would like to open the tolerance up wider, but there's not much room to play with.

i think it's on the build plate. I'm having a difficult time pulling the ammo out.

Replying to @mak3m3s0m3thing :

Same same. Cleaning out the holes with a drill bit helped here too, but, 200 holes, man! I used a Textured build plate, which does tend to have more first-layer squish and elephants foot. Will try a different plate next time.

Came out great in PETG-HF. Had to clean out the holes with a drill bit but I like these cases a lot. Support popped out as designed and the lid lifted is a nice touch

@user_1315853621

Looks good! I like the irony of the "Barrett" name on plastered over .22 rounds... I'm also going to try and make the holes every so slightly larger to help with elephants foot issues but there is very little room to expand them into, so we will see.

@Melbo0

Replying to @user_1315853621 :

I think the holes will be fine over time. After slight drilling with an undersized bit, the rounds move up and down with the lid (top/bottom) and stay in the elevated position even with the lid removed. I think if I reamed them again with a slightly larger bit they'd be perfect. Use will probably also loosen or polish them a bit. These actually go with a project I just built which is a 'Baby' Barrett 3:5 scale .22lr replica of an M82A :)

@duke316

Just printed, how do you remove the built in support?

The designer has replied

@user_1315853621

Just press in the center of it, if it doesn't pop out easily by hand use the tip of a pen or something, it should break free all at once once it lets go.

@mkosmo

Replying to @user_1315853621 :

It doesn't slice in a way that's possible for me when I switch it to X1C. I already printed it, so I'm likely to just cut it out manually, though.

@user_1315853621

Replying to @mkosmo :

Are you printing at 0.16 layer height? At 0.2mm the slicer cant resolve the layer heights and closes the gap.

Directly printing the bullets might cause jamming, I've tried using a drill bit to enlarge the holes and modifying the settings, are there any other solutions?

@user_1315853621

Should you encounter difficulties printing the “round hole” version, I suggest printing the “hexagonal hole” version instead; it is faster and simpler to print

Thank you, it is indeed superior

Printed in CF and it looks amazing! Unfortunately the support is fused solid and it is not interested in coming out. It will still work for storage but I was very excited for the lid lift to more easily access rounds. I would definitely be interested in a version that would allow my slicer to fill in support instead. Edit: I solved my issue! In the slicer I was able to click Split > To Objects and just delete that support bit. Printing now with tree supports and so far it looks fantastic!

(Edited)

@user_1315853621

I actually uploaded a version without the built-in support a few days ago. its not part of a print profile, but you can download and print it independently to get around any issues your having with the original version.

While the rest is good, the holes are too tight for .22 LR, rendering the print unusable at the shooting range

If your printer struggles to print the insert with the round hole, I suggest printing the version with the hexagonal hole This eliminates the issue of the seam line affecting the hole's tolerance The housing is identical for both versions; only the insert needs printing
