Toilet paper to container kit V2

prusaprinters

This is an improved version of one of my older models: https://www.printables.com/model/725277-toilet-paper-tube-to-container-kit . This kit allows you to convert toilet paper tubes into little containers. Everything is print-in-place and supportless.  Summary of the versions:“normal” files: Designed for tubes with an outer diameter of approximatly 42.6mm (North America)“smaller” files: Designed for tubes with an outer diameter of approximatly 39 mm (Australia)   I'm not sure how the hinge would print if scaled down, but it should not be a problem to scale it up. If your tube does not fit one of the presets, just measure the outer diameter of your tube and determine your scaling factor like this: model_outer_diameter / your_outer_diameter = scaling factor.Example, if your roll has a diameter of 45mm, use the "normal" file with the diameter of 42.6mm and do: 45 / 42.6 = 1.05 = 105%. What changed?The lid is now designed to be printed opened, which prevent you from having to pry it open with a tool and gives a better finish.The closing mechanism has been improved.The inner-most wall was removed since it was not necessary for the tube to be clamped between two walls.The Combination of the above changes are reducing the required material by up to 25% NOTE: It is designed for a layer height of 0,2mm or lower.Print settings:Resolution : 0.2mmInfill : 15%Material : PLA (PETG recommend for the clip for more flexibility)
