Description
Meet the ultimate space-saving storage solution! This Collapsible Crate is designed to be highly functional, durable, and extremely satisfying to use. It features a robust design that folds flat when not in use and stacks securely when assembled.
Perfect for organizing your workshop, desk, kitchen, or AMS shelf!
Key Feature: Smart Filament Hinge
This design utilizes standard 1.75mm filament to create the axes for all hinges.
- Why? This makes the hinges incredibly strong, smooth, and eliminates the need for expensive screws or metal pins.
- How? The main panels print in place. After printing, you simply slide a short piece of 1.75mm filament through the aligned hinge holes and trim the excess. It locks perfectly.
Features
- Foldable Design: Saves up to 80% of space when collapsed.
- Stackable: Securely stack multiple crates (even with different colors) for modular storage.
- Strong & Durable: Engineered for rigidity and tested for smooth folding.
- Print-in-Place Base: Minimal assembly required, only for the filament axes.
Print Settings
- Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS (PETG recommended for best hinge durability).
- Layer Height: 0.2mm (standard).
- Walls: 3.
- Infill: 15% (Gyroid is excellent for this geometry).
- Supports: NO supports needed.
- Orientation: Print all flat panels face-down on the bed.
Assembly Instructions
- Print all necessary panels.
- Align the side panels with the base.
- Take a piece of 1.75mm filament and insert it through the hinge holes.
- Optional: Briefly heat the very tip of the filament with a lighter (just a fraction of a second) and flatten it against a flat surface to create a head, preventing it from sliding back. Trim the other end and repeat.
