modular nozzle storage box

thingiverse

This is a customizable storage box for nozzles and heat breaks, designed to keep your tools organized and easily accessible. Whether you want to categorize your nozzles by diameter, material, or type, this box can be adapted to fit your specific needs. Before starting the printing process, take note of the following: * The types or groups of nozzles you plan to organize (diameter, materials used, composition, etc.) * The number of nozzles and heat breaks in each group * The dimensions of the nozzles and heat breaks (be generous when rounding up for easy fit) During printing, consider adjusting the following parameters: * Nozzle module dimensions (total height, threaded height, and diameter) * Heat break module dimensions (diameter and length) * Box size (clearance, number of rows and columns), keeping in mind that the heat break module may occupy space equivalent to 3 or more nozzles The number of modules can also be adjusted before or during printing: * Nozzle modules * Heat breaks * Your personal color code by choice of filament or paint after printing After printing, you can adjust the actual arrangement in the box and reuse existing modules in a new box if needed. If more space is required, simply print additional modules and a larger box, then move the existing modules to the new box and repurpose the old one. If the modules don't fit or require more clearance, you can always use the box for something else or print a new one with increased dimensions. For optimal results, consider using translucent filament to see what's inside without opening the box. Modules can be easily adjusted by providing extra room for the nozzles and omitting threading for easy removal and insertion. Be sure not to remove hot nozzles from a heated up hotend as this may cause them to warp or break. To prevent a mess, avoid flipping the open box upside down. For added organization, consider printing multiple boxes if you have nozzles for different hotends. Use your personal color code by choice of filament or paint after printing to further categorize and identify each module.
