External HDD Storage Container

pinshape

I needed a place to stash my external hard drives. This container measures 176mm (H) x 102mm (W) x 112mm (D). It can be divided into six separate compartments, each measuring 27mm x 98mm x 110mm. Each compartment has its own sliding divider, allowing you to customize the number of compartments from one to six. To save on print material and time, I designed it to be assembled easily. The interlocking joints are quite secure, making glue an optional but useful addition. Print Settings Resolution: Standard I printed this container at standard resolution using my Dremel Idea Builder. You'll need to print two smsdg-leftright_sides, two smsdg-topbottom, and as many smsdg-divider as you require (up to five). My total print time was 12.6 hours, and I used 93.5m of PLA. Post-Printing Just assemble the parts by snapping them together. If you don't need six individual compartments, simply omit printing five dividers and print only what you need. How I Designed This I initially designed a single-print container that took almost 24 hours to complete and used 105.5m of PLA. Realizing this was too long and resource-intensive, I redesigned the project to allow for assembly and customization. The idea for interlocking joints came from another online project (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1050205). I liked how the joints fit together in that project, so I decided to recreate them here.
