SquareBox+Top

thingiverse

I've been collecting numerous small 3D printer parts (primarily hotends, fans, and wiring) and I required a space to store them. So I modified the designs of arcbox7 and arcbox8: I made the box square, larger, and changed the design of the top so that when printed without supports it ends up looking nice inside. This was pretty easy since I use parametric design software (http://birkbinnard.com/blog/parametric-modeling/), but it did take a while to get the geometry of the top's handle just right. The top fits snugly on the bottom and is tall enough to accommodate over-filling the bottom. I used transparent yellow for this print because I thought it might be interesting to see the internal structure clearly. The box printed in a little more than 22 hours, and the top in about 7 hours, using layer height = 0.200 mm. The box has a rippled bottom surface to prevent warping and enable easy removal from the print bed.
