Interlocking Stackerz

cults3d

Interlocking Stackerz are clever modular storage and transport solutions that feature interlocking sections of various sizes to meet an endless array of needs. Use them to store and/or transport anything small, including nuts, bolts, screws, and medication. This version has a Smooth Sidewall. A "Ribbed Sidewall" version is available at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1578855, which changes the appearance and makes it easier for some people to grip and lock/unlock. There's also a fun/novelty version called 'ROCKETZ' that you can find at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1563995. The mechanism is simple: just push two parts together and rotate 120° to lock in place. Additional parts lock together in the same way; reverse to unlock and separate the parts. Interlocking Stackerz provide a simple solution for storing and transporting things. For example, store a range of nuts/bolts/screws in them and they become a 'grab and go' item so you can take what you need with you without a second thought. Different items are stored in different layers to keep them separate. The internal diameter is the same for all parts (60mm at standard scale). The .stl files provided include: Cap Layer/Low (15mm high storage area) Layer/Medium (25mm high storage area) Layer/High (50mm high storage area) Base/Low (15mm high storage area) Base/Medium (25mm high storage area) Base/High (50mm high storage area) Print the parts required to make up your ideal configuration in the colors of choice - color coding makes it easy to find what you have stored. Interlocking Stackerz are easy prints that don't need any support. On a well-set-up, accurate machine, well-sliced files should provide a snug fit between parts that still lets them turn to lock/unlock without much effort. Please refer to the print settings and images for additional information - and post photos of your Interlocking Stackerz in use.
