Nozzle Box Accessories [Tools & Remixed Lid]

thingiverse

Add a touch of luxury to your printing routine with these essentials! I really like ugh's original nozzle box design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2887511...but I found the nozzles were placed too close together for my fat fingers to handle easily. So, I created a set of tools to run nozzles in/out of the holes, which store away neatly using 2 spare holes in the box (non-adjacent holes). The long nozzle tool is 6mm and the short nozzle tool is 7mm; both are designed to hold nozzles snugly and straight for easier operation. Check your printer calibration if your tool fits loosely or too tightly. These tools are also handy for running other 6mm or 7mm hardware on/off; just don't use them on hot nozzles, LOL. I also wanted to enhance the design by adding bold text "NOZZLES" to the cover, making it easier to find in my proudly cluttered garage/shop environment, especially when printed in contrasting 2-tone colors. Notice that ugh made the lid very thin, which is nice as it saves filament. This also means the raised letters are only 1 layer thick (at 0.2mm resolution). So be prepared for this if you're doing a manual 2-tone print. Also, note that this lid is designed for ugh's V1 box with hinge pins, not the V2 print in place. Give thanks to ugh for his box design, and enjoy!
