Side Stackable Component Bins / Louvre Panel Trays

thingiverse

A lighter version of MakeAlot's design features modified side walls, reduced tongue joint heights, and removal of the back hook. This derivative aims to test the strength and lightness of Louvre Boxes while reducing costs. The original Louvre design weighs 31 grams and costs $1.32, whereas the Hexagonal Wall design is lighter at 25 grams, costing $1.07. The Single Wall design is the lightest at 20 grams and costs $0.853. This derivative reduces weight (depending on machine) from 31 grams to 20 grams, saving $0.42 per box, based on Vik's 3mm PLA at $32 for 750 grams. The images show the original, Hex test, and Single Wall designs from left to right. Notably, the original side walls remain intact due to their two-wall construction with a space in between and their solid formation on the print bed.
