Box

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Designed to be 3D printed
  • Requires no tool to open/close it
  • Can be made waterproof (but requires flexible filament)
OVERVIEW

A simple container designed to be easily 3D printed on most machines. It can be printed with no support material and has generous tolerances.

The waterproof variant requires flexible filament for the seal/gasket; it assumes that no water leaks throught the walls.

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Machine The component will be designed to the chosen machine specifications =
Material Only the selected materials will be considered for the design =
PLA +2
Internal x Internal width = mm
Internal y Internal depth = mm
Internal h Internal height = mm
Max tx Maximum thickness of the x-wall (including any protrusions) mm
Max ty Maximum thickness of the y-wall (including any protrusions) mm
Max th Maximum thickness of the lid/bottom plates (including any protrusions) mm

ADVANCED
Vertical load Minimum load which must be supported by the lid/bottom. Considered distributed evenly across the surface N
Waterproof Switch ON if the box should be waterproof (=rated IP 64) =
Fillet r Internal fillet radius = mm
Mass Component mass will not exceed this value kg
Temp min Will work down to min temperature or lower °C
Temp max Will work up to max temperature or above it °C

3D PRINTER SETTINGS

Nozzle d Nozzle diameter. If possible, features thickness will be chosen as a multiple of this value. = mm
Min layer t Minimum layer thickness. Smallest height which ensures good quality. = mm
Min w Minimum width which ensure a good quality print. This is the thinnest wall you can print. = mm
Min tol Minimum tolerance. The smallest value x such that a cylinder of diameter d will fit in a hole of diameter d+x. = mm
Pip tol Print-in-place tolerance: defined as Minimum tolerance, but with the cylinder printed inside the hole. = mm
Printer bed size x Size of the printing bed = mm
Printer bed size y Size of the printing bed, perpendicular to x = mm
Printer max h Maximum height for a printed part = mm
Max bridge Max length for a bridge = mm
Max overhang Max overhang angle, measured from the vertical (90 deg is horizontal). = deg

We code for the love of the game

But the game doesn't love us back with a salary.
