45ACP 100 Round Ammo Box

thingiverse

A custom ammo box for 45 ACP with a distinctive Punisher logo emblazoned on its lid, carefully crafted to meet specific design requirements. Improvements have been made to the initial concept, and while it has not yet been printed, these enhancements are expected to significantly enhance performance. Further details regarding these modifications will be discussed in a subsequent post if there is interest. If any issues arise during printing, please notify. Print Settings: Printer Brand: Robo 3D Printer Model: R1 ABS + PLA Model Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 15% Post-Printing Observations: Noted after printing this design were several flaws that required correction. Initially, the Punisher logo was barely noticeable, prompting a change to make it four layers deep instead of just one. The hinge presented an issue, failing to snap together as intended; a slot has been added to address this problem. Due to its mechanism, the lid fit too tightly, necessitating adjustments: the raised lip is now thinner, and so is the cut out for it in the lid. The front and back ten slots were slightly undersized due to an error in their design. This was rectified by making them somewhat larger; however, adjacent boxes were made slightly smaller as a result. Rounds should fit comfortably even with minor shrinkage. How I Designed This: This custom ammo box was designed using 123D Design software and its logo created as an SVG file within GIMP. Acquiring the skills necessary to operate these programs involved watching YouTube tutorials. This project marks my first foray into 3D modeling, undertaken without prior experience in this area. The concept originated from Lucas' design that was remixed by Dfackrell; a self-locking hinge style was employed, eliminating the need for a wire within the hinge.
