E012 Eachine drone storage box - LASER cut

thingiverse

So, this is simply a LASER cut-able storage box for your Eachine E012 drone. You can store the drone, remote, spare (Li) batteries, spare propellers and charger cable, all in one place so they don't migrate. Of the two lower horizontal pieces inside the box, one is larger than the other - test before gluing! The lid is a little tricky to place/remove until you play with it a few times, but I wanted to be able to cut and glue a box with effectively no moving parts (no screws, no hinges that stick out, no sliding mechanisms with springs, etc.). Files are in .AI format, and have layers. I use Coreldraw with LASERDRAW plugin, so I need to (vector) engrave the 'mark' layer first, then cut the 'cut' layer afterward. Organise your own cutting/engraving order to taste. The part 1&2 .AI files are for cutting on a K40 laser (300x200mm limits). If you have a bigger bed, grab the 'full' .AI and cut it in one hit. My K40 engraves nicely at 20mm/s with around 4mA tube current. For cutting, I run somewhere around 6-7mm/s at 15mA. YMMV as I only use a basic air assist, but have excellent extraction. Material I used was 3mm MDF, but acrylic or any other 3mm material should be alright. Be aware that the living latch (needed to open the box) was tweaked for MDF/wood. you may need to make a new/different pattern to support acrylic. The marks in the base piece are purely to align the drone feet holders. The internal spacers, in addition to partitioning the box for convenient storage, also allow the remote to sit ABOVE the drone, and cannot crush it (a stock version anyway). Good luck, and hopefully it's useful!
