Improved Prametric Rugged Box

thingiverse

####Improved version of Parametric Rugged Storage Box Remixed the design from @TheSameNameTwice by rverse engineering parametric 3D model in Fusion and improving weak points. This model is still *parametric* but using fusion360 as original, no openscad version (sorry). Put a ❤ if you like my design. #####Instructions Open the .f3d model in free version of Fusion360. Main menu --> Solid TAB Go to second group. - Press the "MODIFY" drop down menu - Select "fx Change Parameters" - Change: [hei, len, wid] following instructions - Also Change: [lid/base height ratio] following instructions #####Note: sometimes Fusion 360 has some problems when parameters are changed too much in a single iteration, if you want to go form 50 to 200, do 50mm or smaller steps. Final: Verify that model is rendered without problems. --> Export .STL #####1. Top cover improved closing latch: The lever is now longer, to have a smoother closure and more durability. #####2. Bottom box has three improvements: - The hinge is supported by two parametric sturdy and smooth inserts coming from the bottom, increasing durability and avoiding breaking it during first assembly. - Additionally I carved a V shape insert area to have a better hinge snap-in during assembly. - Finally the front latching area is now improved a little because it was too thin in the original model. Printed with tree supports to improve plastic structure but they may be not used. Suggested a flexible material like **PETG** to ensure a better assembly of the hinge. Bottom box can be printed in PLA, but cover is recommended in **PETG**.
