Storage Gear

This piece came by accident when I printed a gear that didn't work for what I wanted but it turned out to be helpful.

Customization:

This is an easy piece to customize in your slicer. The first step is to choose the height that you want it to be (how much room is inside). It is 50 mm tall. Next what you need to do is set the top and bottom layers to 0 unless you want it to have a back, in that case leave the bottom layers at 3 or whatever you choose. Doing this step will remove the top and (maybe) bottom layers which means all that you are left with are the wall and the infill. Now to deal with the infill (or storage), what you will want to do for this is set the infill density to a low number such as 3% (the number I choose) depending on how big you want the inner areas to be if you want bigger pockets set the infill to 1 or 2% but if you want smaller holes that might fit only one pencil or such a higher density like 7 or 8% will be better (these are just guesses don't just take my word for it but experiment yourself). And the last thing you do is choose infill pattern, I chose honeycomb because it looks good and it gives you nice big pockets to put stuff in. But before you print it slice it and check that everything is as you want it, if you did it right you should not see a solid top layer (and maybe no bottom layer depending on what you chose) but just see the infill pattern that you chose and the walls on the outside and inside.

Other tips:

You may want to set the wall layers to 3 or 4 to give the gear more support since it doesn't have solid top or bottom layers.

Your slicer will probably want to enable brim because it thinks there is too little of the model is touching the build plate, but you shouldn't need brim so you might just want to turn it off.
