Locking Ammunition Container (100x9mm Luger)

myminifactory

This project was developed for the MTU MSE4777 course as my Big Money Project, with the goal of providing a low-cost solution to a high-cost product. The ammo container holds 100 9mm rounds and locks at one end. The tray and outer case are modular, allowing them to be scaled up or down by adjusting their length, width, and height. The insert can also be scaled, but as it gets smaller, the holes will disappear. This device is intended to replace a more expensive locking ammo case while offering easier usability due to its sliding tray. The user can pull out the tray a certain amount and flip it to receive a small amount of bullets. To assemble: Place the insert into the tray, making sure it rests on the elevated sides of the shorter ends. Load rounds into the 100 holes of the insert, and the tray will support them. Load the tray into the outer slide and secure the lock through the holes on the outside of the tray and outer slide. BOM: Outer Slide = 11 hours 48 minutes (0.20 mm layer height, 122.18 g with support) Tray = 5 hours 53 minutes (0.20 mm layer height, 75.95 g with support) Insert = 2 hours 7 minutes (0.20 mm layer height, 15.86 g) Total print time = 19 hours 48 minutes (214 g with support) Cost Savings: 3D printer filament (PLA) = 214 g @ $20.00/1000 g = $4.28 Masterlock = $3.17 Total = $7.45 Commercial equivalent = $13.15 (box plus lock) Cost savings = $5.70 (43%) https://www.appropedia.org/User:Ajvincen
