Scifi Small Part Storage Tetrix Bases

thingiverse

I'm thrilled with the "Scifi Small Part Storage Crates" uploaded by AndrewBougie, and I found them absolutely perfect for holding nylon spacers, screws, nuts, and other assorted robot parts. I wanted to be able to make a rack of them and an overflow of Tetrix channel from FIRST Tech Challenge robots, so I decided to create a remix with Tetrix holes in order to screw them in place. I used http://whitneyftc542.weebly.com/tetrix-cad-reference-dimensions.html for the dimensions of Tetrix channel and Sketchup for modeling. The second model is the base scaled down 50% while the holes are still correct, making it a convenient option for smaller storage needs. If you'd like to print this design, please use this link to my FTC Team's Hub http://www.3dhubs.com/raleigh/hubs/cca-robotics-club Learn more about FTC here: http://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/ftc Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: 300 microns or lower Infill: 20-100% Notes: Rafts suggested on bins. Instructions Use bins with "Tetrix" in the title in the slots with screws heads inside them, and use "Normal" bins in slots without screws. Make sure that all of your parts are either ALL followed by "50", implying half scale, or ALL not, full scale, before printing to ensure they fit together perfectly. I recommend using Pitsco Tetrix 1/2" Socket Head Cap Screws ( http://www.tetrixrobotics.com/Socket_Head_Cap_Screws?SKU= ) and Kep Nuts ( http://www.tetrixrobotics.com/Kep_Nuts ). Insert your Socket Head Cap Screws through the holes in the slots of the base part and through the Tetrix channel you are attaching to, then add a Kep Nut to the channel end and tighten in the base slot. Slide in a Tetrix bin and you're ready to go!
