Auer Eurobox Lid Fixation

thingiverse

A quick fix for [Auer Euro containers with hinge lid](https://www.auer-packaging.com/jm/en/Euro-containers-with-hinge-lid.html). This design prevents the lids from sinking a bit into the container with a loud "click" when sitting on them or otherwise placing a good amount of load centrally on them. This lid fixer has to be bolted to the upper edge of the container, so that the recesses in the lid's border interlock with it when closing the lid, preventing the lid from sliding. Mount with two M3×10 DIN 912 cylinder head bolts, with the head towards the top and washer and nut underneath. This is a fully parametric design, so it may have other applications as well. For example as a device foot, bumper, boundary on a surface etc.. You can adapt the bolt size as well, of course. The CAD model was made using [CadQuery](https://cadquery.readthedocs.io/), an open source code CAD software similar to OpenSCAD (but much more powerful). The latest version of this design's source code is always available [in its Github repository](https://github.com/tanius/cadquery-models/tree/main/lidfixer).
