Description

This is the MINI version of the Rugged Storage Box!

Boost Me (for free)

If you like the model, leave me a boost ;-)

For bigger use cases: https://makerworld.com/en/models/492885-storage-box-screwless-parametric#profileId-406548

The box is assembeld with pieces of filament, so screws arn't needed anymore!

If the filament falls out of the hinges, glue the ends a little with super glue.

For the sealing, TPU can be used.

Attention:

Pay attention to the comments in the parametric design in Fusion 360!

Printed a fire starter kit for camping and turned out great! Based on other users feedback, I made the locking pieces 7mm wide for a tighter fit. I couldn't find a TPU gasket option in the parametric file, but it still works well, just not very water tight as I'd like.

@gundermanb

I'm having trouble with the latch being very loose. What do you mean locking piece 7mm wide? The latch is minimum 18.. edit: Ah, I think you meant wheel diameter to 7 mm

Replying to @gundermanb :

Hey there, what I meant was the wheels for the locking mechanism. By default they're 6mm in diameter, but increasing them to 7mm made for a tighter snap fit.

A really nice box. Thanks for the fact that it can be parameterized, so I was able to create one in 70x70x30. I even cut off some of the shutter because it was too big for the small box (in terms of appearance, not function). Printing was also super easy and without any problems. I'm very satisfied and think the idea of using the filament as a hinge is really good! A great idea. Two small suggestions for improvement: Insidewidth: If the Insidewidth parameter is set to 60mm - 80mm, the “ribs” are slightly shifted between the lid and the box. You can see this in the photos of my box with an Insidewidth of 70mm. Perhaps this can be corrected in Fusion if this is not what you want. My wife thinks the shifted “ribs” are even nicer than if it were completely symmetrical ;) Wallthickness: If the wallthickness is set to 2.5mm, there are two holes in the box at the front where the wheels are. This is only visible after slicing. 3mm was then okay. Perhaps the comment for the wall thickness needs to be set to a minimum here.

Hi, thanks for your really interesting comment! I really like it when people give me that kind of feedback. The proplem with the offset ribs occours when the insidewith is devided by the ribdistance, the result isn‘t a odd number and the ribs will be unsymmetrical. But you can change the rib distance a few milimeters and you will get a symmetrical rib placement. Thats how I have gone arround that proplem as I found no solutuion for that in the past. But now I found one, which I will upload in a few days. I hope your wife will forgive me for that :-). For the proplem with changing the wallthickness, I havn‘t found a good solution quiete yet, as this is pretty deep integrated in the parametric design. I‘m glad to here that you really like the idea, you can check out the other box designs, if you haven‘t allready…

What kind of gasket did you use?

Awesome design! We've got a Disney trip coming up and use the Ryobi lithium 4v fans, so I made a box for 4 batteries. Without the TPU seal, this was watertight for over 30 seconds (I got bored ... so maybe longer). Eventually I'll add this as a remix if that's allowed. I'm pretty green here. Edit: I added a 'spring' to the bottom of the box, which keeps the batteries tight to the lid and pushes them up a bit when it's open to pull them out.

The 50x50x80 version was perfect for my needs! I designed a set of inserts for my batteries based on that box: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2104321-21700-18650-18350-battery-inserts-for-storage-box#profileId-2275888

Really enjoyed your design. I created a box for my diabetes test equipment and supplies. It gave me a chance to learn a lot about Fusion parametric design. The included documentation was awesome. Thanks for all the hard work!

I printed it as a geocache box and hope it will be waterproof. Thanks for the design!

Printed out perfectly, the hinges are a tight fit as they should be to skip the glue. Parametric dimensions is a big plus. Well done! Boosted 2x!

very nice, easy to print and waterproof. I left it 1 foot underwater for 20 minutes. There was no water in the box. So yeah, pretty effective. I padded it with foam and lined with silicone tape. I use it to store my very expensive iems.
