Print-in-place toolbox

A small toolbox that comes off the printer already hinged, so there's nothing to assemble. A snap latch holds the lid shut, and a lift-out tray with little compartments keeps screws and bits from sliding around. Change the length and depth to fit your own tools.

Good to know

  • I left the failing bed-fit check in on purpose, so it tells the truth. You only asked for the surface fix, so I didn't resize the box. Printed open, it's 200 × 246 mm, which won't fit your Ender-3 V3's 220 mm bed (it was first sized for a 256 mm bed). To fit, the depth would have to drop to about 93
  • The pins, latch snap and handle swing were only checked on screen. Test them on the real print.
