Customiser: Storage container for ball bearings

thingiverse

Reduces pressure on drawer box usage by freeing up space through storing different size ball bearings in a single compartment without sacrificing organization. This impressive feat is made possible by storing each type of ball bearing in its own cylindrical container, which are produced by your 3D printer. They feature a more or less tightly fitting lid, preventing unauthorized exit from the ball bearing storage area. The customiser offers a facility to impress or emboss the ball bearing type information onto the cylinder wall, read directly from the respective size and type specification record. However, the print quality of such labelling has been subpar so far, prompting a return to more traditional pen-on-cardboard-with-sticky-tape labelling methods, which suffice for now. Several tasks remain: impressed/embossed text does not display in customiser previews; parametric selection by sliders is incomplete; alternative bearings selection via pull-down menus is also unfinished; and the cap (lid) does not appear in customiser previews. Reducing variable fit to zero and then increasing it again to its original or alternative value seems to resolve this issue. Currently, downloading and editing the corresponding values yourself appears to be a more effective option than relying on the customiser to generate an .stl file for download. I hope to eventually address these issues.
