Description

Small parts slide into one pile as soon as a drawer opens; this hinged latching box stops that with a fixed divider and a lid that snaps shut. The interior is 150 × 125 × 45 mm, split by a 2.5 mm divider set 95 mm back from the front.

Fit and compartments

  • Interior: 150 × 125 × 45 mm (length × width × height).
  • Divider: 2.5 mm thick, 95 mm back from the front, leaving a larger front bay and a shallower rear bay.
  • Walls and floor: 2.5 mm.
  • Lid: small inner lip so it locates on the base.

Printing and assembly

  • Prints as three separate pieces: base, lid, and hinge pin.
  • The pieces are laid out apart on the plate with gaps: the lid is flipped so its flat top face is on the bed, and the 3 mm pin lies flat in the gap. None of the three touch.
  • If your slicer imports the model as one body, use Split to objects or Separate parts.
  • Hinge: seven interleaved knuckles with a 3 mm pin (153 × 3 × 3 mm). Use a 3 mm rod or filament, or print the pin.
  • Front snap latch: hooked tab on the lid over a bump on the front wall. The snap is untested, so expect to tune it.
