Metal detecting finds box (Medium size 130mm x 85mm)

thingiverse

A remix from my other boxes that use a cam action latch. Using NiceABS: all parts printed with the same settings: Temperature 240deg 0.2mm height, First layer 0.25mm. 18% infill 3 perimeters 4 top layers 5 bottom layers Support only under under catch and hinges. Hardware required: 4 off M3x45mm cap head screws. The screws thread straight into the plastic. An M3 tap can be partially ran through to make this easier. Snap off 2 catch support pillars after printing. I found it best to fit the hinge bolts with the box open. This makes alignment easier. To revel text in Top.stl, it is necessary to split the parts in the slicer. The text parts can then be printed in a separate colour, or deleted to leave impressions in the lid. (see https://docs.vorondesign.com/community/howto/mikhail/multi-colour-prints-with-a-single-nozzle.html?fbclid=IwAR0U7-qqKsJKF_E84XquxRQwKGt4Kae6okkFQuN4cR8QiXkYAlYfZuJWvRw to explain in detail how to print text in a different colour using a printer with a single nozzle.). I used 1/2" foam in top and base to hold finds and protect them. 2/5/2022. Updated Bottom.stl as a mistake in the drawing meant the catch would not close.
