Box (Container) for Calibration Weights

prusaprinters

<p>This is a box (container) for this calibration weights set: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B8J19DM/ which includes 1g, 2g, 5g, 10g, 20g, 50g, and 100g weights + metal tweezers.</p> <p>It includes a space for the tweezers and should store the weights in a relatively dust-free environment for long-term storage (I mean, how often do we need these things? haha).</p> <p>It does use more plastic than I'd hoped but it's only about a dollar's worth and still cheaper and faster than ordering a more expensive (and not quite as high quality) set of calibration weights that<em>does</em> come with a box =)</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I printed mine in eSun PLA Pro+ Orange because I wanted to use it up (such an ugly color; "cantaloupe" would be more apt) but just about any filament would be fine. Default settings are probably fine but you might want to use a big layer height to speed things up.</p> <p><strong>Use a bit of filament for the hinge and color in the text with a Sharpie</strong></p> <p>For the hinge just cut off a bit of filament (PETG works best but PLA is fine) and heat (NOT "melt") the end for like one second with a lighter then flatten (squash) it against something, well, flat. Then shove it through the hinge holes and do the same on the other side. I used a little piece of metal but you can use a screwdriver, pliers, flush cutters, etc. Anything metal that's got a flat side will work. Just be careful with the lighter when heating the end that's already been placed through the hinge--don't want to melt the box!</p> <p>I also used a Sharpie to color the text on the side and I highly recommend you do the same because it makes it easier to read from across the room when it's sitting on your shelf.</p>
