Terraforming Mars Storage Solution BOXES MODIFIED

thingiverse

I Did a redesign of TheCutter's awesome designs. specifically, all the storage boxes that have lids and magnets. The reason I did this is because in his original design there was a requirement to stop the print and install the magnets, then resume the print. This wouldn't really work for me as I would end up just forgetting about it and the whole process would take way too long. Plus I wanted to learn fusion360, this was my first kick at the can with it. The boxes still use 4mmx2mm magnets, one in each corner. I stayed with this size as I was able to get 200 of them on amazon for about $12. I'll use them in future projects. What I Did: - Imported the STLs into TinkerCad to get the overall measurements - Built the Boxes in Fusion360 making small changes such as: - Moved the location of the magnets up to be flush with the finish surface of the box. the recesses for the magnets have a diameter of 2.1mm. worked for my setup without glue. other made need a dab of superglue; - Added a 2mm overlap on the lid onto the box to keep it in place. There is a 0.2mm gap between vertical mating surfaces of the lids and boxes for play; - The decorative touches on the top of the storage and resource box as well as the side of the player boxes are just extruded inwards about 0.6mm (multiple of 02.mm layer height). I used a syringe with watered down acrylic paint and just flooded all the channels with paint. I think it looks alright. I don't have a dual extruder or a bunch of filament colors; and - Added a small chamfer around the top and bottom of all pieces for no sharp corners. To set the magnets I used a metal punch. stick the magnet to the punch and gently tapped them in with a hammer. worked great. I have included my fusion360 files. if you make changes you think are for the better. shoot me a msg and let me know. I'm still learning fusion360 and any tips are welcome.
