Description
Heads up
The black parts are big, (over 90big). I put hols in de model the combat warping. However it might slightly warp after printing souldn't be a big problem
The white boxes can be arranged however you want, or you can design your own
If not all the spots for the boxes are filled, fill it top down so the boxes stay closed.
Printing
Material: PETG
Layer height: 0.3mm for the 3 big parts, 0.20mm for everything else
Supports:
The big handle on the bottom needs supports as do all snap fit pins. The hinges for the latches are also best printed with supports.
make sure the underside of the middle part does not have supports (see gcode).
The top has 4 horizontal holes that need support at a layer height of 0.3mm put in a varible layer height of ~0.20mm to make those overhangs not need support
all otherparts do not need supports
Assembly
The arms can be hard to remove so make sure that they are in the right locations. if they are in the wrong locations use the hole of an other arm to move the pin “open” and wingle in out.
the cap/feet are pressfit and should stay in place
the Hexboxes are juist loose so you can take them out
