Rough Wood-effect Chest

pinshape

Here is a rewritten version of the text: There's still plenty of space on Thingiverse for another 3D printed box! This was an experiment in achieving a genuine wood effect using ColorFabb Woodfill filament. ColorFabb filament is excellent, but it didn't give me the exact 'real' wood surface finish I was aiming for. So I designed and modeled this simple little chest, spending lots of time creating a realistic wood grain texture on all surfaces and faux Dovetail joints. And to complete it, I just had to add some hinges and a latch. Printed in ColourFabb Woodfill http://colorfabb.com/woodfill-fine and Faberdashery Robot Silver PLA http://www.faberdashery.co.uk/products-page/print-materials/robot-silver/. The file sizes are quite large - sorry about that, but the wood texture surface effect needed a high model poly-count to achieve the level of detail I wanted. I may try optimizing those files later. Enjoy! UPDATE: 210416 http://www.thingiverse.com/pitcherj/about reported some errors in a couple of the files - thanks for pointing them out! Hopefully, they're fixed now. ChestBaseFrame_v2.stl ChestLidFrame_v2.stl Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: Low for the chest High for the hinges and latch Infill: 35% Notes: I printed all parts of the Chest with a 0.8mm nozzle at 0.4mm layer height. I printed the hinges and latch with a 0.25 nozzle at 0.1mm layer height. The ChestLid file prints on its end, so I added a '10 walled Brim' to give it support while printing. All other parts printed without support or raft. Post-Printing Use a good plastic/wood glue to fix all parts together How I Designed This The file sizes are quite large - sorry about that, but the wood texture surface effect needed a high model poly-count to achieve the level of detail I wanted.
