Stackable Hexbox Evolution

thingiverse

I am revising the Hex Box to fully incorporate its joining mechanism into the main structure, as per your request to integrate this feature rather than using a separate joint component. For this version, I employed a sliding joint design which allows for increased surface area when it comes to taking tensional forces. This makes the box more resilient overall. By incorporating the sliding mechanism, assembling and disassembling the boxes has also become much easier. One notable advantage is that two or more boxes can be connected together to significantly boost their structural resistance against tipping. You can view this concept in action by examining my photos. To update you on the evolution of this project: A new attachment for hanging on walls was added in late 2015 but it's worth noting that this component has not undergone any testing yet, though its functionality should be fairly reliable. Additionally, there have been suggestions to incorporate a flat surface and after hearing these opinions I added this feature back in 2014. To get you started, for the minimum print setting just select 0.4mm nozzle width, 2.5mm layer height on your 3D printer's software.
