PCR Tube Cryobox

thingiverse

Say hello to the PCR Halfbox: a revolutionary storage solution designed specifically for molecular biologists struggling to find space for their ever-growing collections of RNA/DNA, PCR amplicons, and related materials. Accommodating up to 98 standard low-to-high-profile flat-capped or dome-capped 0.1-0.2ml tubes, this innovative container is a game-changer in the lab. The internal rack is removable and can be used as a standalone PCR tube holder, providing maximum flexibility and convenience. The PCR Halfbox can also double as a PCR ice box by simply adding ice flakes, making it an indispensable tool for any molecular biologist. Additionally, its stackable design allows it to pair seamlessly with standard-sized 13.3x13.3mm cryoboxes. Designed using Blender 3D for the PrintedLabs Project of Plusforge 3D, this cutting-edge storage solution is a testament to innovative design and technology. Print Settings: Printer Brand: Wanhao Printer Model: Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 200 microns Notes: When printing the parts, be sure to resize them accordingly in your 3D slicing software. The dimensions for each component are as follows: Body: 13.3 x 6.65 x 2.8cm Lid: 13.527 x 6.877 x 1 cm Rack: 6.348 x 13.044 x 1.507 cm To achieve optimal results, print the tube holder with a vertical shell offset of -0.4 to -0.6mm. For the body and lid, use vase mode with a 1mm bottom layer thickness and 0.8mm thick walls (two perimeters for 0.4mm nozzles). The box looks its best when printed with transparent filament. Post-Printing: After printing, you may need to trim the holes of the rack to accommodate your tubes, depending on the vertical shell offset used during printing.
