A stackable cooler and seat combo! Configure your cooler by adding or removing different sections to optimize it for your use. Pick and choose between the seat lid, cooler lid, extension, and carry strap module to customize your cooler the way you want to! In the low configuration, the cooler is perfect for around 6 beverage cans. By adding the second section, a wine bottle or two can be cooled! 

 

The air gap in the modules may be left open, filled with foam, or you can utilize AMS waste as insulation to trap air. With the modules left open, ice was retained for about 12 hours (tested indoors) - Perfect for picnics and tailgates!

 

The print profile was tested to a distributed 200 lbs (90kg) using all modules and seat lid - you may need more or less walls depending on the weight capacity you expect to use. The plug seal was printed in TPU and is *almost* water tight - you may want to use a purchased 1" o-ring to seal the plug or threads fully.

 

Seat Lid - For a dedicated seat

Cooler Lid - For a more sleek look 

Extension - For more beverages

Locking Plates - To lock in insulation 

 

Assembly: 

Print pieces you'll need for your cooler/seat configuration. At minimum you'll need the cooler base, locking plate or strap locking plate, plug, o-ring, and lid or seat tops. Press the o-ring into the recess in the cooler base, then screw in the plug. Fill the cooler base and extension with your choice of insulation and glue on the locking plate to seal the insulation in. Glue modules together until the right configuration is achieved and then set the lid on top!

 

If using the strap locking plate, you'll need 6mm or ¼ in hardware and a shoulder strap:
