Parts Tray - Harbor Freight Compatible

thingiverse

I use these affordable Harbor Freight parts boxes to organize the massive amount of components, bolts, and supplies I need for tinkering. What I like about these boxes is that they contain small removable open mini parts boxes. When I'm building something, small and large containers tend to clutter up my workspace. The hinge on the Harbor Freight Boxes takes up a lot of space. I decided to print out a mini-box holding tray; it's like having the Harbor Freight Storage Box without the hinge and handle. This box will hold any assortment of large, medium, and small min-boxes. I also have a good number of boxes I've printed out in medium and large varieties (stl's enclosed). Having an open working tray of the parts I'm using will help me reduce clutter. It's essential that this tray can hold and assortment of the harbor freight mini-boxes I've standardized on. This was actually the third print I made on my own Very Big Delta Build. The first print was the Marvin pictured. Seeing 600mm delta arms printing out a pint-size Marvin is quite a sight. I'm very satisfied with my VBD build because I designed and built something I couldn't afford if I purchased the same functionality from a vendor like SeeMeCNC or WASP. I'm looking forward to sourcing a 500mm diameter bed in the future. I plan to build smaller arms, 500mm, for now I'm using a 400x400mm square bed. The VBD has tons of printable real estate. The first layer of the print was outstanding. Being a cheap bed, the glass I'm using is warped significantly in some places, .1-.2. The Duet software does a great job in mapping out the imperfections in the glass using G29. The first layer is smooth; the corners are flat and perfect. Duet is amazing. The bed was $119 from Zyltech, which is a great vendor. I did throw out the Fotek SSR that came with the bed in favor of a UL-listed Cryodon for $65 with heat sink. I would highly recommend that folks upgrade their printers to include the Duet, American-European, and "lab-certified components." The tray is 243x169x49.5mm OD and 164x238x48mm ID. The harbor freight boxes have countersunk circles to hold the boxes in place. This box has a flat bottom; thus, harbor freight mini-boxes stick out by about 1mm, and my own boxes stick down by about 1mm.
