Millennium Falcon box for X-Wing Miniatures game
Description
Finally Got Around To Making A Box For My Millennium Falcon Model For X-Wing Miniatures Game. The Box Keeps It Safe And Takes Up A Little Less Space Than The Nice Clear Plastic It Came In. Because It Is A Big Part And Because The Lid Needs Some Strength On The Z Axis, Good Layer Bonding Is Important For This Part. The Box Could Split As It Cools (As Large Prints Are Prone To Doing). The Best Way I Have Found To Increase The Layer Bonding Is: 1) Crank Up The Nozzle Temp To Get The Layers To Melt Together Well. For This I Did It Out Of Abs At 255 C 2) Enclosure Will Help Cracking Caused By Rapid Cooldown As Well. I Have A Really Ghetto Setup With Taped Up Fabric Right Now (Worn Out Tshirts, Heh) Even A Mediocre Job Of Enclosing The Printer Can Help A Lot. With This Print I Had No Splitting And Very Minor Lifting On One Corner. Because The Lid Hinge And Clasp Parts Are Probably The First Failure Point, I Suggest Printing The Lid With 100 Percent Infill, There Will Be Very Little Difference In Plastic Used, Just A Tiny Bit More In The Hinge And Clasp Area.
