prusaprinters

<p>This is the youngest member of a series of sturdy shutter boxes. This model comes with a new designed lid and some other small improvements. The shutter lid stays firm in opened or closed position independent in which direction it is being held; still it can be opened with one hand.

I made three ranges (height range modifier) 0-0.6mm:0.05mm layer-height, 0.6-5mm: 0.2mm, 5mm-7mm: 0.15mm, Top-/Bottom fill pattern: Archimedean Chords, Fill pattern: Line</li><li>Once everything is printed, use glue to assemble the box (I used universal glue for the bigger parts and super glue for the fragile/small parts).&nbsp;</li><li>First glue the separate side of the box into the side-part and then glue the two to the rest of the box. Make sure every thing lines up well and that there is no glue in the rails.&nbsp;</li><li>Weigh down until glue is dry.</li><li>Once the glue on the box is properly dried, you may add a <i>little</i> grease / silicone spray to the rails. It will make the shutter run smoother.</li><li>Put the shutter in. Do this carefully while bending both the shutter and the sides of the box just a little bit. At first it might seem that the shutter is stuck and not moving well, but after &nbsp;opening and closing the box a few times the shutter should run smoothly and should be able to open and close it with just one hand.</li></ul><p>I already printed this a few times and improved it to the point where I think it is working very well. But please let me know if you have problems or suggestions to make it better.</p>
