Minimalist Tackle Box/Toolbox/Hardware Organizer

thingiverse

Simple and minimalist tacklebox, toolbox, or hardware box. It does not float! (lol I plan to make a different version that does) Material: For the body, cover, loops, and latch I would use at least pla+ if you plan to leave it in direct sunlight and to add strength otherwise use any material. Regular pla doesn't like sunlight for long. I suggest at least 40% infill for the lock and loops, 25% for the body, and 20% for the rest. Of course the more the better but the drawers wont see much improvement past 25% since they are mostly walls(which anything past 4 walls on the drawers wont do anything and leave no room for infill). Only one part requires support, the center plug. I would suggest printing on one of its sides without the snaps on it. Use tree supports. If printed laying down you will most likely snap the snap tensioners off due to the bend direction matching the layer direction. Print drawers in working position. There are holes for two loop brackets if wanted, just print two loop brackets. 6 3/4" or 1" M3 bolts for cover, 3 tapered 1/4" M6 bolts for the rope loops, and 1 tapered 1/2" M6 for the latch. Tolerances are pretty forgivable but I would suggest printing the body first and then a section of a drawer to test. Use what ever % you change by on all intersecting parts. Prolly don't need to tell the seasoned 3D printers that but its good for new people. The one I printed got gifted to a family member whom was enthralled with it so couldn't take completed pics lol. So to double check the stl loads into your slicer correctly to scale the body is exactly 5.1" tall and 4.5" wide from one adjacent flat face to the other. This is when it in standing on end. I used Onshape for the cad, wasnt an option on here to select. Thanks!
