<h3>Customizable inserts for the IKEA Samla boxes (5, 11 and 22 liters)</h3> <p>Development here: <a href="https://github.com/Alex9779/IKEA-Samla-Inserts">https://github.com/Alex9779/IKEA-Samla-Inserts</a></p> <p><strong>The repo might have some updates not yet posted here, so have a look there too!</strong></p> <p><strong>The models here are just for presentation! Better create your own models with the OpenSCAD script for your specific printer, settings and material!</strong></p> <h3>IKEA-Samla-Inserts</h3> <p>OpenSCAD script to generate inserts for IKEA Samla boxes</p> <h4>Features</h4> <ul> <li>inserts for 5, 11 and 22 liters boxes</li> <li>adjustable grid</li> <li>adjustable bottom thickness and wall thickness</li> <li>splittable insert layers (halve and quarter possible)</li> <li>engraving or embossing of layer marks (toggleable)</li> </ul> <h4>WARNING!!! WIP!!!</h4> <p>This is still work-in-progress! Pull requests welcome!</p> <p>I did a lot of test prints and finally I printed a whole set for each box size!</p> <p>Measures look good, very good to me, no great adjustments needed anymore! Happy printing!</p> <h4>Usage</h4> <ul> <li>Get and install <a href="https://www.openscad.org/">OpenSCAD</a>.</li> <li>Load the script and adjust the values, generate all the STL you need for one box.</li> <li>Print! :P</li> </ul> <h4>Tips</h4> <p>There are three main goals:</p> <ol> <li>nice finish of the bottom layers</li> <li>stiff walls</li> <li>wall layer adhesion</li> </ol> <p>The initial values for bottom and wall thickness are base on my settings for a 0.4mm nozzle with a 0.3mm layer height.</p> <p>I do 3 bottom layers.<br/> My first layer is set to 90% so 0.3 <em> 0.9 + 2 </em> 0.3 = 0.87.</p> <p>That's where the values come from.</p> <p>I have the best printing results with these setting because that way I get two perimeter lines for the outer walls<br/> and the grid walls. (40% perimeter overlap allowed.)</p> <p>I also tried using a 0.8mm nozzle with just one line for the walls. Layer adhesion was pretty good with literally no cooling<br/> (10% fan speed) but I had issues with the moving paths and retractions leading to non-touching walls so I can't recommend this.</p> <p>I am still playing with the print settings to get a nice bottom finish and good wall adhesion. Still I think two perimeters for a wall are better than printing just one wall line.</p> <p>Maybe get a simple small hollow box to test your settings, but be aware, very long straight extrusions may behave a little different than a short one...</p>
