Equal (Artificial Sweetener) Travel Case

thingiverse

This is another remix of the Uno card box by TECHNUT of: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/uno-card-game-box I like design so much that I used it for a "Left Center Right" game, and now I've adapted it to carry 10 Equal artificial sweetener packets so my wife will have them handy when she end up at a restaurant that doesn't have Equal. This is probably a bad Idea, but I'm including the two files I use which are keyed for alignment when slicing. The key on the Lid file is just a .2 mm cross and the key on the logo file is a 3 mm cross. If you opt to use the keyed files and swap filaments between printing the lid, and the logo on the lid, you'll probably want to be present when the Lid finishes printing to turn the heated bed back on before it cools allowing the model to shift while the logo prints. Additionally, when you slice the two files for the lid, be sure to turn off skirting for both of those files. You'll want to first load the model for the lid. Slice it and save the gcode. With the lid still on the bed surface in your slicer, open the logo file and orient it so that the two crosses line up and verify that the logo appears in the proper placement on the lid. Delete the lid, then slice and save the gcode. Obviously, you'll print the lid first, then as soon as it's completed, turn the heated bed back on and swap filament. Once you've swapped filament and primed to get all of the other color out of the nozzle, print the logo file. It will print the 3mm high cross, then shift over to print the logo atop the lid. Pay close attention to the orientation of the lid and the logo in your slicer so that you don't inadvertently smash a cooling fan duct into the lid model when you go to print the logo. Been there... Done that... If you have a better method for printing the lid with the logo using a single extruder, do that. If you have two extruders on your printer, you should be able to slice the two keyed files together, tagging the lid for one extruder and the logo for the other. If you don't feel comfortable working with the keyed files and you have a steady hand, print the "unkeyed" files separately and glue the logo onto the lid. Unfortunately, the logo file will be in 3 pieces that you'll want to carefully line up as you're gluing.
