Pyramid Stacker

thingiverse

The Pyramid Stacker is carefully crafted to mirror the exact dimensions of a real pyramid, offering a versatile storage solution that can accommodate an array of items from tiny trinkets to larger objects. To print this design, simply select the layer size that matches your machine's build plate capacity, and print each level up to the desired height. Layer sizes for different configurations are conveniently provided below. This innovative storage system boasts a unique pyramid shape that adds a touch of elegance to any room. Perfect for storing jewelry, electronic parts, cables, Lego models, tools, and other small items, the Pyramid Stacker offers a practical solution for keeping your belongings organized and within reach. By stacking the layers, you can store smaller items at the top and larger ones at the bottom, making it easy to find what you need. The clever design features a small tab on each layer that allows for easy separation and access to stored items. However, achieving clean prints with a flat base is crucial for seamless assembly. A precise slicing app and well-set machine are essential for ensuring accurate fitment of the layers, which should snap together securely without excessive force. If necessary, minor adjustments can be made using a craft knife or sandpaper. A range of configuration options is available, allowing you to customize your Pyramid Stacker to suit your needs. Choose from single open spaces to divided chambers in two or four equal parts. Each layer measures 30mm in height, making it easy to create a multi-layered storage solution. For instance, to build a three-layer Pyramid Stacker, print the top layer (L1), followed by a second layer with two equal chambers (L2-2), and finally the bottom layer with four chambers (L3-4). A variety of configurations is provided for your convenience: * L1 = Top * Layer 2: Approximately 96mm square + L2-1 = Open chamber one level below the top + L2-2 = Chamber divided into two equal areas * Layer 3: Approximately 143mm square + L3-1 = Open chamber two levels below the top + L3-2 = Chamber divided into two equal areas + L3-4 = Chamber divided into four equal areas * Layer 4: Approximately 190mm square + L4-1 = Open chamber three levels below the top + L4-2 = Chamber divided into two equal areas + L4-4 = Chamber divided into four equal areas * Layer 5: Approximately 236mm square + L5-1 = Open chamber at the lowest possible level + L5-2 = Chamber divided into two equal areas + L5-4 = Chamber divided into four equal areas The Pyramid Stacker is an easy print design that requires minimal effort. On a well-set machine, the layers should snap together securely with ease, allowing you to create a sturdy storage solution. However, if your prints don't fit perfectly, simply clean up the joining edges or surfaces using a craft knife or sandpaper. For a great result, invest in a precise slicing app and a well-set-up accurate machine. This will ensure that each layer fits snugly into place, creating a secure and stable storage system. If your layers are loose, don't worry – simply avoid inverting the Pyramid Stacker to prevent the layers from separating. The classic pyramid shape is a timeless design that appeals to people worldwide. With the Pyramid Stacker, you can create a modular storage solution that suits your needs. Print just the top layer (L1) and one level down (L2) for a mini storage facility or go all out and print the entire design if your build plate allows it. A practical storage system for everyday use or as a thoughtful gift, the Pyramid Stacker offers endless possibilities. Print each layer in a single color or mix it up to create a visually appealing design that helps you locate specific items quickly.
