I got started by picking up a couple of HDX 15-Compartment Interlocking Small Parts Organizer in Black (2-Pack). This got most of the small components grouped together. This left with an issue. There is a fair number of resistors of different values in one compartment. This leaves me hunting and pecking through a mess to find the resistor I need.
After poking around Thingiverse, I came across a possible solution. The Stackable resistor box with labels. There two parts the case and the drawer. The case has an interlocking mechanism. Giving me a number of possibilities for connecting the boxes together and flexibility to print the number of boxes I need.
Preparing and Slicing
- Import the two parts into the Slic3r
- Changed the orientation of the models so supports are not needed
- Sliced the models
- Sent the models to the OctoPrint server.
Updates to the 3D Printer settings
- Changed the z height. Hopefully, this will help the print release a little easier.
Results
The overall print quality is good. The case has a little stringing on the inside. There are a few minor defects with the outer surface. The drawer also printed well. It also has a few minor surface defects.
The change in z height didn't help with the removing the models from the bed. I ended up destroying the drawer when I removed it from the bed.
When I tried to fit the drawer in the case, they would not fit together properly.
Changes
Increase the size of the case.
Print two or three cases at once. This should allow a layer to cool and set before the next layer starts.
Change the top/bottom fill pattern to something other than Hilbert Curve.
