I made an overengineered toolbox system that took me months to develop and a lot of money from my own pocket to print a metric f*ck ton of tests samples just ensure everything in the model im going to sell you will actually work on the printer you have at home! Whether it’s your ender 3 from 6 years ago or the Bambu x1c (which I used to develop this entire system on).

However We in quite a pickle and we’re going to need your help because it’s not just me. My girlfriend and I are in a pretty sad and depressing situation right now but I won’t get into that here. (if you want to know more about it, this is the link to the entire story and the development process of everything I made regarding my tool system in 20 minutes: https://youtu.be/9h1P86ya2L8

and this is the short version without much context 1 minute: https://youtube.com/shorts/_MVq5voLLhk )

But everything I’ve made so far is to help our household maintain itself and it has been a very slippery slope.

And I’ve been meaning to keep things light hearted, so I figured, how about I show you something your cool your 3d printer can do, that is also useful at the same time! Use it for smaller stuff like toothpicks, cotton swabs or just all the parts that come with the model!

In the files you’ll find a test piece, on it is a code hidden that’s the key to whatever you see in the picture above! I did this because I wanted to make the testing process for something I deeply care about fun and educational. Testing is super important when developing a thing and I want to encourage you to test something before you dedicate mountains of materials to it. the puzzle should only be worth about 10/10 picarats at most so don’t expect anything too hard heh (Look up Professor Layton if you have no idea what a picarat is, but you really like puzzles. You’ll thank me later~)

all you should need is a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer heights. I would recommend to printing with a 3mm brim for extra bed adhesion. So test, adjust, test, and configure. It’ll save you a lot of headache in the future because for as long as it doesn’t break, you can use the box forever!it’s a box!
