prusaprinters

<p>I started with the side box and found that the lid did not fit very well and I was always searching for it.</p><p>This box, has the lid closed when it is pushed in. The lid opens when the box is pulled 3cm out. The lid clears the bed sheet.</p><p>The design is not optimised, but works very nicely as it is. The hinge pin a little loose; one could glue the end so it does not pull out with time.</p><p>PRINT INSTRUCTIONS:</p><ul><li>No need for support. I used 0.2 SPEED and it worked well. (6-8 hours)</li><li>In the files, you will find options 1 and option 2.&nbsp;</li><li>Option 1 let you print all the files in one pass on the i3, but the box and frame are tightly packed to make place for the cover.</li><li>Option 2 has both file s seperated, so you can select a different color for each part if you want.</li><li>Print 2 side bars</li></ul><p>ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS</p><ul><li>Start with the box fully inserted in the frame</li><li>Attach the side bars to the floating cover, both sides, perpendicular to the cover.</li><li>Attch the other end to the frame's pivot pins, again, perpendicular to the frame leg.</li><li>Slowly bring the cover into place on the box.</li><li>Align the hinge holes and insert the hinge pin.</li><li>Test the magic</li></ul><p>I am ready to share the model, (solidworks) as long as it is not for making money out of this.</p>
