Stackable box without support

thingiverse

This is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:647425. I printed the thing and discovered several areas for improvement. 1. Reduced material usage, shorter printing time By decreasing wall thickness and implementing ribs, I was able to conserve significant amounts of material and time without compromising strength or stiffness. My revised model now weighs approximately 45g and requires about 3-4 hours of printing time with a layer height of 0.25 mm. 2. Wider ledge design I also found that the original model's ledge was too narrow, making it unstable for stacking purposes. To address this issue, I widened the ledge to ensure stable stacking. 3. 3D-printing optimized design The previous design lacked fillets at certain edges, which can cause warping during printing. I added proper fillets and printed with ABS without any issues. To see how the boxes stack, please visit: https://youtu.be/w4mE3RXgPW8 The characteristic dimensions of the small box are as follows: -Length: 120 mm -Width: 90 mm -Height: 50 mm The characteristic dimensions of the large box are as follows: -Length: 240 mm -Width: 140 mm -Height: 110 mm. While the small box is adorable and compact enough, you may want to separate the containing space within the large box. In such cases, consider printing the ones with partitioning walls or using a tray. Note that trays have six separated cells and can be stacked. The large box can accommodate two trays, offering up to 12 cells in one box. 10-05-2018 Update: -A set of medium-sized items has been added. -Trays are perfectly symmetrical, allowing for flexibility in their orientation during use.
