Hexagonal compartment box with lid (customizable)
Description
A customizable lidded box made of a grid of hexagonal compartments. Wanted to print one alike for some small bolts laying around, but I could not find any model of such box… so there it is. The .scad file generates two parts: the box and the lid. Use a piece of filament as a pin to connect them. You might need to drill the lid with 1.8mm bit and the box with 2mm drill for getting rid of minor print defects and giving the hinge looses for a smooth operation. You can customize in the .scad file at least: * the number of compartments, * whether the rightmost “column” has less or more rows (see pictures), * the size of each compartment (along Y and Z axis), * wall thickness (inner wall as well as the outer and the bottom ones), * looses (aka clearances), * diameter of hinge pin, * size of the latch. The model shall print well with no supports. I uploaded some example .stl files; be warned that I printed my boxes in ABS that prints details well and with a 0.25mm nozzle, hence you might need to set thicker walls if you feel that your printer would fail with 0.6mm walls.
