SciFi Crate

Description [Update 2025-01-28] I've worked on an updated models that adjust the screw holes so drilling is no longer required. Along with this update comes updated instructions and two size variations Introduction I would like to introduce to you my fancy Scifi Box! Or crate? Treasure chest? Do I need to model some gold coins for you to fill this thing up with? Hehe.   I wanted to produce a crate of sorts that'd be larger than the print volume, but assembled in a way that it didn't feel like it was just a model chopped up to fit into a printer's build volume. This is the results of those efforts. Part of my goal with this too was to make it easy to print, have cool styling, and have some sort of latch/locking mechanism (although it is primitive, it is still cool). For bonus points, I made it stackable!   Tools & Hardware Tools: Hex Driver #3 & #2.5 Drill bits for clearing out holes File for cleaning up edges where berm is used, or whatever tool you like for that job.   Hardware: 16 M4 Nuts (Used for connecting the End Caps, Ends, And Mid section together.8 M4x25 (Used to connect the Ends to the Mid section)2 M4x30 (Used for the hinge)2 M3x5 (Used on the Lock. You can Use M3x6 screws, but don't over tighten them, as it'll push through and show on the front)14 M4x10 (6 for the Lock, and 8 are used to connect the End Caps to the Ends)   Filament I used: (For reference! Use the colors you see fit!) Mid - Bambu PLA Iridium Gold Metallic Ends - Bambu PLA Matte Charcoal Hardware - Bambu PLA Basic Bronze   Getting ready to print You're going to need about 2kg of filament for this case. It'll be about 1kg for the ends, and a little less for the mid/lid section. I modeled everything to be relatively easy to print, but they're still big full plate models, so make sure you've got things like warping under control (On the P1/X1 for example, turning off the aux fan!), that your bed is super clean, and yeah. These are big prints, so let's check ourselves before we wreck ourselves
