Drybox-NG an Unoriginal Drybox Implemented in OpenSCAD

Openscad Code by sjc (Stephen Carpenter)

Background

I really liked some of the Drybox options I found, especially the Unoriginal Prusa Drybox but I stock different sized heat set inserts and I don't use normal CAD. So I set about to rebuild it in OpenSCAD; my way.

Version 1.0 fell off its mount. V2.0 has feet that hook onto the mount, Magnets for hinged lid and doors, and a buffer mount for the rear. Version 3.0 goes together without glue so parts are replacable.

Silica cup mounts have inserts spaced to mount a 1x3 Gridfinity base. Cup and base generated from gridfinity_extended. (see Other Sources)

Building

Insert models use my Inserts Library

Box parts rely on BOSL

Modify parameters as you like, the default will give a pretty decent aproximation of the original that it is based on which will mount on similar stands. Change dimensions and you are on your own. Not all parameters have been well tested. Good Luck.

Parts snap together solidly, shove a small piece of filament in the tiny holes in between them.

TODO

  • Cleanup
  • Need lid magnet

Lid has features that block access to magnets. Also, handle too large. Need to bridge gap!

Done

  • Hinge cut for door fit
  • Removed inserts behind door
  • Removed window/floor inserts from corners
  • inset offset to edge
  • Need Mount for Buffer
  • Door Handle
  • ALL THE MAGNETS!
