L-Boxx Mini Insets

L-Boxx Mini InsetsThere are quite a few insets for the Sortimo L-Boxx Mini out there but none ofthem fitted my needs:printable on my Prusa Minieasily configurablestill being able to use the original dividersMy design is only possible due to the great work of member 6d6178who provided a full inner volume model of the L-Boxx Mini undera Creative Commons license.I used OpenSCAD, so if you want to configure stuff to your ownneeds, a little basic knowledge is helpful.Basic IdeaThe orignial L-Boxx Mini is divided in three sections: left, middle and right.For each section, there is a volumetric (filled) model available and the cutoutsare created as needed.The InsetsThere are six types of insets:leftmiddlerightlarge leftlarge rightfull (untested, doesn't fit on my printer bed)For each inset, there is an OpenSCAD module that takes two parameters tofurther configure the basic shape: // example: module left_inset(part=PART_FULL, connector=false) { … } The parameter part defines the height of the inset. Availableoptions are:- "full" (or constant PART_FULL): complete height- "lower" (or constant PART_LOWER): the lower part of a stacked assembly- "upper" (or constant PART_UPPER): the upper part of a stacked assemblyIf the parameter connector is set to true, a structure will be added tothe inset to attach an original divider from the L-Boxx Mini.I strongly suggest, to print any upper inset without connector, even if youhave a lower inset with connector - it will be easier to take out the upperinset and access items in lower one.   The CutoutsFor each inset, there are eight cutouts defined:- WELL_LEFT_1 to WELL_LEFT_8- WELL_MIDDLE_1 to WELL_MIDDLE_8- WELL_RIGHT_1 to WELL_RIGHT_8The module well_form(…) creates the cutout model (with a nicely roundedbottom) to be subtracted from the inset. // example for the top left cutout form: well_form(WELL_LEFT_1) You can also specify a parameter to to created large (merged) cutouts: // example for a large cutout form: well_form(from=WELL_LEFT_4, to=WELL_MIDDLE_6) Finished ModelsTo get you started easily, there are already over 100 finished models ready tobe printed. Ok, I cheated a little bit. There are over 100 different variationsof basic models to get you started.Please have a look in the folder "models"CustomizationsIf you are not happy with the predefined models, you can (and should) createyour own.A good starting point is to open playground.scad and play around withthe different modules and settings.You can achieve quite interesting cutout shapes by defining different fromand to parameters. Have a look at example_inset_mixed.scad and thecorresponding stl file.If you want to build up something from an empty base inset, the upper surfaceof the cutout floor is conveniently located at z=0.Have a look at the sortimo-insets.scad file, if you want to dig deeper.Everything is defined there. It might not be pretty but it works.Printer and Slicer SettingsThe prints above where made with 0.4mm nozzle and PETG filament.I changed the default "0.25mm Draft @Mini" a little bit for this prints:Avoid crossing perimeters: trueFill density: 0%Fill pattern: GyroidInfill/perimeters overlap: 25%
