Rugged Box - Card Box

Will fit two packs of bicycle cards flush. The ones pictured are a little loose. The standard rider pack fits very snug Important: Use 6x M3 x 25mm screws to complete. (Added version with no Ace of Spades graphic) When printing in a solid color: Printed Bottom, Lid, and Latches in PLA. Prusa slicer and MK4. Generic PLA. .20 Speed setting and Octagonal Spiral for top and bottom pattern. Printed the Seal in TPU Limited all speeds to 25mm/s. Temp: 220C Bed: 55C 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Example printed in a solid color with octagonal spiral (difficult to make out. The layering bottom infill effect is lost, but spades and “A”s still look and feel distinct) 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Example printed in Hilbert Curve (Multicolor but can be printed as a single color, however color bleed effect will be lost) Printing in two colors: It's important you read all of this before using the G-Code its kinda janky Added custom G-code that stops and prompts color change for the Ace of Spades Lid . The file contains both the lid and bottom for time-saving. All I did was add 4 M600 commands so it takes some babysitting. I suggest doing at least one test before committing to the whole print. Stop at 4 layers, rip it off, and check it. If it looks good, re-print! Color order: Base color: Start printing with this. It will lay down the first layer in base color only. Secondary color: It will stop halfway through 2nd layer for this (Spades and A's) Base color: It will fill the third layer and perimeter of the lid Secondary color: Another layer of secondary color right over the previous (helps fill gaps and prevents base color leaking through. reference picture below) Base color: Last change. Finishes the rest of the box A few important quirks when working with this G-code: G-code is set for Generic Pla (Sliced in Prusa) Manually tuned first layer to 80% speed and 110% flow for a fuller first layer pattern Tuned the black layer (secondary color) to 80% speed and 120% flow rate. This helps fill in the gaps in the spades and “As” Put everything back to normal for the rest of the print Make sure you purge well. I did it twice and still saw some bleeding on the bottom of the box I cannot seem to get a perfect top pattern and no bleed-through spots (Reference last picture up top. Random dot next to “A” and black peaking in ribs) so you may be better off modifying your own G-code. Fairly easy to tell where the stops should be, just add a line with M600. The important thing to note is that you want at least two layers of your secondary color. I tested with one layer already. Why two secondary layers are important. This was only printed with one layer of black: 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Good luck and remember to stop and test. It took me some fine-tuning to get the look I was aiming. Some more prototypes: 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media
