Description
I found this box on thingiverse, but unfortunately not here on printables.
I took the opportunity to adapt it to my needs. The original from AIKz has space for 20 nozzles, which was too little for me. But having an extra box for each size was not my goal.
So here is the version for 40 nozzles, sorted by size and condition.
The model definitely does not work with PLA, as the integrated "hinges" would break immediately. I tested it only with PETG and it works perfectly.
The inserts are removable and make it possible to separate new from used nozzles. The inserts have a short thread - max. 2 turns to prevent the nozzles from falling out.
The attached 3mf files contain all stl files and must be printed with MMU. The model parts are correctly positioned and have the colour assignments. These settings can of course be adjusted in PrusaSlicer.
The inserts 3mf containes all 4 different inserts which have marks for the standard sizes (0.25, 0.40, 0.60 and 0.80) as well as for the special sizes (0.15, 0.30, 0.35 and 0.50). Both in different colour settings. All parts are placed, but some are set to not print. Choose your favourites.
If you work with another slicer software you probably have to compile the stl's yourself and make all adjustments like colour changes.
"I created this nozzle box to manage my different nozzle sizes and states. Each box contains two inserts that I printed in different colours to sort the nozzles into "new condition" and "used condition". I also use different boxes for different nozzle diameters.
The box is designed for standard M6 nozzles (e.g. E3D V6).
I recommend using PETG to extend the life of the integrated hinge. PLA, for example, is more brittle and breaks quickly."
