Nozzle Box Accessories [Tools & Remixed Lid]

Add a touch of luxury to your printing routine with these things!

I really like ugh's original nozzle box design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2887511

...but I found the nozzles were placed too close to each other for my fat fingers to deal with. So I designed a set of tools to run nozzles in/out of the holes. They store away neatly using 2 spare holes in the box (non-adjacent holes). The long nozzle tool is 6mm and the short nozzle tool is 7mm; both are designed to hold nozzles snug and straight for easier operation. Verify your printer calibration if your tool fits loose or too tight. These tools are also handy for running other 6mm or 7mm hardware on/off; just don't use them on hot nozzles, LOL.

I also wanted to kick it up a notch by adding the bold text "NOZZLES" to the cover. This makes it easier to find in my proudly cluttered garage/shop environment, especially when printed in contrasting 2-tone colors. Notice that ugh made the lid very thin, which is nice as it saves filament. This also means the raised letters are only 1 layer thick (at 0.2mm res). So be ready for this if you're doing a manual 2 tone print. Also, note that this lid is for ugh's V1 box with hinge pins, not the V2 print in place.

Give thanks ugh for his box design, and enjoy!
