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.

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.

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

very nice model. easy to print with no problems. looks really good on the shelf.

@gabemakes

Great print on the X1C at 0.12mm Could use a little reinforcement on the long sides as there are slight gaps on the top layer of the print.

good design and well prepared profile. would be good to use other infill type than grid.

@sinithw

I scaled this boy up another 50%, absolutely wonderful big box.

Magnificent crate, printed out cleanly with no warp or defects. Fits together with a firm push and feels sturdy. The design is top notch, my first one got nicked by the wife and now have to set out some more in different colours for her :)
