This is a "RIBBED SIDEWALL" version of my regular Interlocking Stackerz. View at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1546446. The Ribbed Sidewall makes them look smart as well as being easier for some people to grip for locking / unlocking. Please refer to the details provided below and at the original Interlocking Stackerz page for additional information. Ribbed Version stl's have an "R" in the file name, which was listed separately to avoid possible confusion and mixing the types up. There is also a fun / novelty version called 'ROCKETZ' you can find at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1563995. Interlocking Stackerz are easy prints of a clever modular storage and transport solution that features interlocking sections of different sizes to suit an endless array of applications. Use them to store and/or transport anything small, including nuts / bolts / screws to medication etc. The mechanism is simple - just push two parts together and rotate 120° to lock in place. Additional parts lock together in the same way... reverse to unlock and separate the parts. Interlocking Stackerz provide a simple solution to storing and transporting things. For example, store a range of nuts / bolts / screws in them and they become a 'grab and go' item so you can take what you need with you without a second thought. Different items are in different layers to keep them separate. The internal diameter is the same for all parts (60mm at standard scale). The .stl files provided are as follows: • Cap • Layer / Low (15mm high storage area) • Layer / Medium (25mm high storage area) • Layer / High (50mm high storage area) • Base / Low (15mm high storage area) • Base / Medium (25mm high storage area) • Base / High (50mm high storage area) Print the parts required to make up your ideal configuration in the colors of choice - color coding makes it easy to find what you have stored. Interlocking Stackerz are easy to print and do not need any support. On a well set up, accurate machine, well sliced files should provide a snug fit between parts that still lets them turn to lock / unlock without much effort. Please refer to the print settings and images for additional information... and post photos of your Interlocking Stackerz in use.

Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: Standard / 0.20mm Infill: 2 Shells / 15% or more infill Notes: Easy prints... on a well set up machine with PLA the parts should slide together and rotate to lock / unlock with minimal effort. Post-Printing Just push together and rotate to lock in place... If your Interlocking Stackerz are tight to join / turn this is most likely due to machine and/or slicing app capability. Try increasing the scale uniformly by 3 - 5% to increase clearances. You can also give the locking parts a quick spray with silicone lubricant to make them slide together and rotate more easily.
