USPS Regulation Compliant Mailbox

thingiverse

So the front door of my mailbox was recently damaged due to a combination of age, weather, and a mailperson's frustration. Instead of buying a new one (this one still works, but it flops open often), I decided to make my own in Sketchup (I'm a bit of an oddball). After conducting extensive research, I created this! Unfortunately, it's too large to print on some smaller printers, but I recently upgraded from my old 6"x6"x6" printer to a Creality CR10-S, so I didn't cut the segments into smaller pieces. It doesn't come with a flag, so you'll need to provide your own (I'm using the one found here). I tried to make it naturally watertight by overlapping tabs and tightening tolerances. You might need to sand the tabs to get them to fit together. If you live in rainy areas, you may also want to further weatherproof it. I didn't position the pieces after designing them, nor have I printed it yet, so I'm not sure what alignment would be best. Suggestions are welcome! As I don't frequently visit Thingiverse, I might be slow to respond unless you catch me browsing. I'll be happy to help in any way I can. Assembled Dimensions: Height: 8 3/4", or 9 1/4" including tabs (USPS requires 6 to 15 inches) Width: 8" or 9" including tabs (USPS requires 6 1/4 to 11 inches) Depth: 3 1/8" plus 6" for each middle segment and 1 1/4" for the door (USPS requires 8 9/16 to 22 13/16 inches) This means you must print at least one middle segment or no more than three middle segments. Printing anything else would not meet USPS regulations.
