Parametric honeycomb reloading tray

thingiverse

I've designed a few truly parametric reloading trays but none that employed a honeycomb arrangement. I decided to make my own in Fusion 360 because I appreciate its simplicity and low filament usage. Fusion 360 offers a free license for personal use, so virtually anyone can create a tray tailored to their specifications. All parameters can be adjusted through the Modify>Change Parameters menu. I've included a screenshot of the Change Parameters panel on the Mac. The only caveat is that you must perform a Combine operation after changing parameters to obtain a single body suitable for export. I created a body as large as 25x25, but one that size requires considerable processing power. I've included an example STL that fits .223/5.56 cartridges. It will also accommodate 9mm Luger ammunition, although the walls may be slightly too high. I've added a photo of my initial test: a 2x2 tray for .223/5.56 ammo. Except for the grid size, it was created using the default settings in the .f3d file.
