It is a portable way to store Silly Shells!
This box is a remix of the gridfinity 5x4 rugged case by Akio-42. For compatibility with Silly
Shells, I made it a lot taller (a bit over 80mm) and I added an image to the lid to better help
understand what is inside with just a glance. At its core, this is still just a tall 5x4
gridfinity box, so it can be configured in most any way you want.
Capacity
With @KptnAutismus_269518's Gridfinity Silly Shell Tray (recommended): 24 shells
No trays or bins and shells laying on their side: 24 shells
Cramming as many shells as possible in a standing position: 28 shells
If you use the Silly Shell tray, there will be 4 Gridfinity units left. You can either store
4 regular Silly shells there or 2 double height Silly Shells.

This box is remixed from https://makerworld.com/en/models/441067-gridfinity-5x4-rugged-case?from=search#profileId-349437
Parts
6 M3x30mm screws of your choice for hinges, latches, and stops
2 M3x18mm screws for the handle
I prefer PETG, but see no reason the box could not be made in PLA.
Assembly
1) Install the handle with the 2 M3x18mm screws
2) Add 2 M3x30mm screws, one on either side of the handle. These are the latch stops.
3) Put the lid on and insert the hinge points opposite the handle. Secure each with one of the
M3x30mm screws.
4) Finish it off by adding latches to the other side of the lid with the last 2 M3x30mm screws.
