Simple Rugged Box/Clamshell case - Approx 165mm (L) x 110mm (W) x 60mm (H)





Description
This is just my take on the commonplace hinged rugged box design. They're all much of a muchness, and mine was VERY loosely based on Yanev's design: https://www.printables.com/model/39729-tool-box-parametric
I literally just made an eyeball copy of the photos of his box as more of a design exercise than anything else - Although it's eventually intended to house a specific screwdriver set in the future.
It's also one of those designs that just worked on the first print, even though I'd never tried anything like it before. It's designed to use six 20mm M3 domed Allen socket bolts that I had leftover from another project. Hopefully they'll be strong enough for the job. Time will tell!
The plan was to add a seal to the channel on either of the case halves. But I haven't actually got any need for that at the moment. If/when I do design one, it'll only be a few minute's work, and I'll be sure to post it here.
As I'm seeing my granddaughter in a few days, I also chucked out a quick extra copy with her name on it - Hopefully she can use it as a pencil case, or a treasure box or something like that.
Aaaaaand since she's going through a Pokémon phase at the moment, I naturally used an appropriate font. A little playing around in Bambu Studio gave me the colour layout I wanted for the text, and I've included the .3mf file for anyone who needs a box with the same name. Won't be many, but you never know!
So that's it for now. Nothing fancy, but I hope someone can use it!
I'd better clam up now and let you get on with it!
Happy printing!
