Stackable Container Shelf System + Vasemode! (Part2)

Heyho


This is part 2 of this organization system! The housings for the stackable container!

You can use the housings to transport your container/ boxes without the parts falling out! Especially if you combine the container with a lid for smaller pieces!
 

Also you can build yourself custom shelves with the housings! You can stack one above annother and with the connector you can even combine different towers of these housings together!
 

The Connection points of the housings are designed so you can slide them into each other. But it works also fine just to “click” them into place!
 

If everything is connected properly the shelves will be quite strong!
 

As in Part 1 you have 2 possibilities. A) You print the boxes as they are and B) You can print them in Vasemode.

Pro & Con Vasemode:

+ Fast

+ Less material used

+- Toughness is strongly dependant on the used material, printing settings and nozzle diameter.

Pro & Con Classic: 

+ Tough

+ You can print several parts at the same time.

- longer print time

- more material used


Printing Instructions: 

Vasemode: 

Small Disclaimer: The XS Version is very small and therefore reaching the limits of a 0,4 mm nozzle. So I don't recommend to print this in vasemode! Also I don't recommend to print the L Version with only 0,6 mm wall thickness.

For a 0,4 mm Nozzle set your Extrusion width to 0,6 mm. 

For a 0,6 mm Nozzle  set your Extrusion width to 0,9 mm.

Slow down your printing speed a little to get a better layer adhesion. 

Slow down or turn off your printing fan. Cooling reduces the layer adhesion a lot.
 
Tipp: If you have enough place on the printbed (depends on the container you choose and the printbeds size) you can use “sequential” printing to print several container in one file.
 

Classic:
Use the perimeter generator Arachne.
2 Perimeter 0,15 - 0,2 mm layer height are fine. 

Materials:

I printed my boxes mostly in PETG but also PLA works fine. But beware! Some filaments have a quite bad layer adhesion and therefore are no good solution for a technical design like this! (mostly matte and silky filaments).

Scaling:

Of course you can also scale this Box as you like! For example to 200%? 
But make sure to scale the following parts in the same way so they stay compatible to annother.

Have fun!


Next Design will be a wall mounting for the housings if you want to mount them to a wall!
