I printed your Under Bed Storage Box yesterday and naturally I wanted the nozzle insert and printed this, too. I really like the idea. But I hope you are open to suggestions for improvement, because you could optimize some things. 1) the collars of the heatsinks stick out, about 1mm They should really sit flush to not bend the Under Bed Storage Box. You can see the bend even in your own pictures. See picture 3 on the storage box model page, attached below. Because space is tight on the lower end, too, if you place the heatsinks lower, the nozzle tip might stick out. So either make the box and this insert wider or rearrange the heatsinks. The former would break compatibility with your current model dimensions, so I recommend the latter. Maybe think about a different orientation of the 4 nozzles. Put them 90 degress roated in a stacked manner, like in my picture. 2) there's so much wasted space under the heatsinks - at least 4mm! That's wasted material and print time. The cutouts for the heatsinks begin at about 6mm height. Considering that 2mm thick plastic is plenty tough, there's at least 4mm height just wasted. (That's also a problem with your tool tray insert) I know why you did it, though. Because the Storage Box is rounded at the bottom the heatsink units wouldn't fit when they'd sit lower because the width isn't sufficient. You can counter that with a different orientation as mentioned in 1) 3) a minor nitpick, but could easily be optimized as well: the alignment of the label cutouts. On the right side they are perfectly aligned, but on the left side the heatsink fins can be seen. So if you narrow the hole about 1mm on the left side the cutout would be perfect.

Great print, fits hot ends well, does seem a little wasteful as far as filament usage but overall good design.

Great print! Worked perfectly! I love the little windows where you can see the size. The finger holes are also a nice touch. I printed this with Yuaneang fluorescent red PLA. The A1 mini handled it perfectly as you see, using the generic PLA setting. No stringing, great adhesion. I did notice a bit of curling at the corners of the bottom portion, but subsequent layers corrected it. Thanks for the model! Now all I need is a hardened 0.8mm to complete the collection!

Fits all nozzle sizes, including 0.8 mm. FWIW: To get that pattern I used a “PEO Plate For Bambu Lab A1 Mini Build Plate” found on AliExpress.

Nice and simple! I wish it snapped together but this does the job!

It seems a 0.8 Hardened Steel Nozzle is a little longer, as it sticks out the top of the box just a little bit. But still fits well enough to put this box in the bigger storage box.
