Generic box with hinge and magnets

prusaprinters

<p><strong>Print instructions:</strong> To get a better finish on the top chamfer I step down the layer height on the last few layers. This clears up the stepping and makes the tolerance for the hinge better.&nbsp;</p><p>Melt the edges of the filament with a hot knife to create a a head on the hinge.&nbsp;</p><p>Insert the magnets with a drop of superglue. The holes are dimensioned for 3x3mm magnets from Aliexpress. <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003340480770.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802kKFagL">https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003340480770.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802kKFagL</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I use this box to store my Ubiqiti Edgerouter X when out on gigs. It protects from debris and dust and tidies up well when in storage.&nbsp;<br>Even though the box is custom fitted for the router, it is also usable for quite a lot of other things.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><br>Designed in Fusion 360. I'm still learning, so this was an experiment in designing for magnets, printed hinges and clearance. Not remotely perfect, but good enough for me.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Known issues:</strong> The hole for the hinge may be bit tight, all depending on your printer clearances. My drill bits weren't long enough for reaming, &nbsp;so I put a piece of filament in hot water for a couple of seconds and then pulled on it to make it longer. This distorts the filament just enough and leaves you with a perfectly good noodle. Your experience may vary.&nbsp;</p><p>The magnet inserts in the case clips through the wall in the print. This is purely cosmetic, but a v2 will probably change this.&nbsp;</p><p>Printed in <i>Futorology Easy PLA</i> <i>Aurora</i>&nbsp;on a <i>Prusa i3 MK3s+</i><br>&nbsp;</p>
