About this 3D model
Updated February 2024: added multiple new sizes, added more pictures, and changed the name. Basic stackable boxes in multiple sizes. A box can stack on top of another identical box, and also multiple can stack side-by-side on top of larger sizes. An analogy might be that well-known brand of toy building blocks that snap together; for example, two of the 50x50mm boxes will sit on top of a 50x100mm box, and four 50x200mm can stack on top of a 200x200mm. Styles There are two styles - solid and with holes. They are identical in dimensions and can stack with each other. The ‘holey’ version uses 25-35% less filament than the solid version, but actually takes almost 2x as long to print (even with identical print settings). Sizes All are 50mm (~2 in) tall. 50 x 50 mm 50 x 100 mm 50 x 200 mm 100 x 100 mm 100 x 200 mm 200 x 200 mm 50 x 250 mm 100 x 250 mm 200 x 250 mm 250 x 250 mm Lids Lids for each size have been added. They are completely optional and aren't needed to make the boxes stack. They can sit side-by-side with a box; for example, to fill a gap if a smaller box is on top of a larger box. They sit fairly loosely on top, to accommodate printer tolerances. They aren't meant to seal the boxes or make them portable. There are two varieties: Flush with the edges of the boxes; these look cleaner, but can be harder to grab With Tabs (pictured above); these have a small part sticking out on one side, making it easy to lift up Print Settings Solid boxes: 0.20mm Standard Boxes with holes: 0.16mm Optimal (0.20mm can work, but the holes come out a little rough) Infill: 15% Rectilinear (or the pattern of your choice) Lids: 0.20mm Standard with 15% Rectilinear Printer Compatibility *The 50x200mm boxes will fit on an A1 Mini if rotated 45 degrees on the print bed (pointing corner to corner). **The X1 and P1 printers have a small “exclusion area” in the front corner, preventing full use of the 256x256mm build area. This Bambu wiki article explains the restriction and how to get around it, although I haven't done this to test and don't really recommend it. The A1 does not appear to have this limitation, so it should be able to print the 250x250mm boxes. Updates & Changes Let me know if you're like to see a different size or combination, and I'll see if I can add it. I'll also work on getting the .STEP files uploaded. Feel free to remix, but not sell. Update History 2024/02/09 Added new sizes: 50 x 200 mm 50 x 250, 100 x 250, and 250 x 250 mm Added two types of Lids. Added new pictures.
