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

1. Print all necessary panels.
2. Align the side panels with the base.
3. Take a piece of 1.75mm filament and insert it through the hinge holes.
4. 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.
