Screw Holder Boxes

A Simple System for Organizing Socket Head Cap Screws I rely on a straightforward approach to categorize my socket head cap screws. It's easy to extract the box I need for quick access. Additionally, there is an indentation in the lid where the screw fits perfectly, making it effortless to locate the exact size of a screw when reorganizing them into their respective boxes. Each container has three 3D printed components (a lid, a latch, and a box), two springs (exerting gentle pressure, requiring a snug fit over a 3mm shaft) and three M3 screws to secure everything in place. After producing the parts, you will need to use an M3 tap on the three holes in the lid. One of the springs can be threaded into the latch, then attached to the lid with a screw, angling the spring to force the latch closed (there is a hole in the lid for the spring to slide into). The lid can be secured to the box using two additional screws and there is a gap on one side for the second spring to hold the lid open. While creating this system, I encountered issues with some of the parts curling during printing, so I added tabs to the corners that are intended to be cut off after printing.
