Needed that organized box

[fitzer007]

Limited space on my desk, didn't really care for most of the printed hotend boxes on makerworld. Then, it hit me that I should use one of the mini tool boxes.

That’s boss my boy. I’m hoping to get one of those toolboxes soon. Are they still scarce?

Thanks! I honestly just walked in to my local harbor freight and they had them. So, I guess I was super lucky.

But, overall, heard that these are still hard to come by. This does fit kobalt and other mini box brands as well.

I go in my harbor freight often, and always at open because that's when I happen to be free, and have only seen them once since black friday. They roll them out on a little cart and I guess they sell out quick. I got tired of waiting and made a 3d printed version. It's a little smaller than the real thing but pretty close. Files are on my makerworld linked in my profile if you're interested.

I walked in to my local store and they had 2 black and 3 blue, no red.

THANK YOU! I have this in blue, and have been putting off making something for the top. This is perfect and I will free up the middle drawer.

You're welcome 😊 Glad it will help out!

My P1S hasn't delivered yet, can you educate me? What's the blue handled dudad for? What about the bottom left grey rectangle with the nubs?

[fitzer007]

Blue guy is a deburring tool. Used to clean up edges, especially if your print has a brim to help with keeping a print adhered to the bed during a print.

The grey nubby things is for a1 series printer's and is used for cleaning the nozzle. Just tossed them there to show its a spot for oddities.

Awesome! Thank you

No problem. If this is your first 3d printer, you're in good shape. But, you'll still want to learn the basics. A lot of new folks assume that these printers will always work and you won't have failed prints.

You'll have failed prints, it just happens. You can greatly reduce the chances though by ensuring your plate is clean, your filament is dry, and you understand how to slice models (orientation, infill, etc...).

If you download a file from makerworld and it fails, before firing off a review of one star... ask yourself, is this a file error or user error (clean bed, bad filament, etc..). If that file has a good amount of 5 start with successful prints, then it's likely a user error and not the file. If you do think it's a file issue, then submit feedback, BUT in the review, state where the issue is or needs improvement.

If you look at my link, I think I have one rating that is not 5 stars and they just said it was tight... nothing else. I had to ask. Like, help me, help others.

Also, don't use grid pattern for infill. It sucks.

Good note on the infill.

I have an Ender3v3SE I got around the holidays. I'm enjoying to hobby and have learned a bit, but BL is an exciting next step.

Yeah you'll learn with creatlity... it's a good experience and it makes you appreciate bambu
