Hexbox (Hexagonal Container)

thingiverse

Provided two lids. Threads were about 15 degrees offset rotation-wise initially, but felt too tight, so made the 25 degree offset which was perfect. However, after using it for a while threads on container loosened up and 15 degree offset now actually fits perfectly. My advice: just use the 15 degree offset and work it until it's loose. If it's too tight use the 25 degree offset. First thing I created on my own is a hexagonal container about 60mm across and 50mm tall. It has a threaded lid that screws on. Printed this twice on two different brands of PLA (Hatchbox and Fillamentium) and both work, but Fillamentium is slightly tighter. Hatchbox came out perfect. First model has a single thread and takes about two full turns to screw on. Second model takes about three full turns. Both work, but thought three turns was a little excessive. Print settings are as follows: Printer brand: RepRap Printer: Original Prusa i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 200um Infill: 10% Notes: Could go higher resolution or infill, but had no problems with chosen settings.
