Parametric Screwable Box

prusaprinters

<p>There are several screwable boxes here on Thingiverse, but I wanted to make one parametric so I could play around with it more easily.</p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <p>Print the STL file, and use the box.</p> <p>Or edit the settings in the OpenSCAD file, and make all sorts of boxes.</p> <p>The interesting settings are:</p> <p>h = height in mm</p> <p>nw = number of times around that you have to screw the lid to close the box</p> <p>cr = radius of circle that's wiggled around to form the shape</p> <p>w = amount of wiggle. Radius of box = cr+w.</p> <p>t = thickness of wall and base</p> <p>Edit, generate STL, print.</p> <p>By default it generates both top and bottom, next to each other (which works great on a Replicator). If you want to maximize size in a square print area, comment out one and leave the other to generate each half and print separately.</p> <p>Printing tonight, I'll upload a photo tomorrow.</p> Category: Containers
