C02 storage box

Hello @Gilly, Literally been looking online for something today, then came across your post here.

Please may I have the files for this box? It looks to be about perfect for my needs.

Thanks.

After perusing the depths of the internet for a decent 12g Co2 storage case .stl, I came up empty handed. Undeterred I downloaded a "basic rugged" box design from the original author "whity" (design found here - Parametric box) and made some basic modifications to it.

First off, re-sized to my requirements, then added an insert to hold x40 Co2 capsules. A quick blast around the hinges and latches so they could take M3 bolts and jobs a good 'un.

1hr20 for the lid, 9hrs for the base using a 0.6 nozzle and then 20 mins for the latches using a 0.4 nozzle, It'll take roughly about a half spool of filament @ 15% infill. A quick post print touch up with a 3mm drill before being bolted together using 6 x M3x40mm bolts, washers and nuts. Works a treat.

Happy to provide the files for non-commercial use if anyone wants to make their own Co2 box 👍

Nice, I like symmetry.

Hello. What settings are you using to get it printed so fast? The fastest i can print the lid is 6 hours. Im using cura. The printer is a ender 3. Ive fitted a .6 nozzle. Thanks
 
Don't forget to keep an eye out at xmas and birthdays for that ideal box in the present tat :)

Hi Chris, I think in this instance it's more to do with the hardware than the settings buddy. I'm using a flashforge 5m pro which is a core XY design. Core XY machines can print at much higher speeds compared to bed slingers as they don't have to deal with inertia of moving the entire print bed and model back and fourth, it's only the print head that has be thrown around.
 
Thanks. Thats all a bit beyond me and what i understand. Im very much a beginner. Ive printing the lid at the moment. (y) (y):)

you'll pick it up, it's a bit of a steep learning curve to begin with but eventually it'll even off and everything will start making more sense ;) Fingers crossed it all comes out ok 🤞
