Lid/Flap for letterbox/mailbox

Boost Me

A mailbox-letterbox lid/flap - the one at home was broken so I made one.

 

the parts are on 3 print plates for the X1C, due to the size I am not sure if they work on other buildplates. It is the maximum size so I was lucky to be able to print this one.

 

Peaces fit very tight, you may need to use a file to make it fit it perfectly. Depends on shrinkage and printing but in my case it worked out well directly.

 

Printing the lid/flap itself : plate 3 may lead to some warping so the second time I printed it on a build plate of CryoGrip with a small brim on the bottom, it worked out very well (the result you see on the photo's

 

There may be a little filing needen on the 2 pins of the flap and on the round top side of the axle of the lid to ensure that the flap closes automatically.

 

So there may be a few issues but in the end it prints out fine (4 pieces fine in one go, the flap fine when a better adhesion to the buildplate is possible.
