Loot Crate Storage Container
Drawing inspiration from my favorite sci-fi games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield, I designed a watch display box, designed to house timepieces and rings. (it holds my important bits n bops)
Personal project, sharing the project was a idea that came later so that might reflect in the files, dont be afraid to ask for help! Tools Needed: Superglue (magnets) & Flathead screwdriver (when using bolts like mine, hex also possible) Bolts, Nuts and magnets (Quantities and Types): Cylinder Head Bolts (4x40): 14 pieces Cylinder Head Bolts (5x10): 10 pieces Counter Sink Bolts (4x20): 8 pieces Cylinder Head Bolts (5x30): 6 pieces M5 Nut End Caps: 6 pieces 5x2 Magnet cells: 20 pieces (when making the config. as shown Additional notes: Tolerances: The tolerances are tailored to my specific 3D printer and settings, so your results may vary depending on your equipment and configurations. Assembly Options: While the design incorporates numerous bolts, many components can alternatively be secured with adhesive, offering flexibility in assembly. Bolt Insertion Tips: If you encounter difficulty when inserting bolts, consider using a soldering iron to gently heat the bolt if it's too tight or use a drill to widen the hole slightly for a smoother fit. When the holes are to big, you can insert glue-and-push-the-bolt-in. Magnet insertion tips: if not snug enough, use more glue. If too snug, heat with lighter and gently press inwards. If it protrudes, heat and gently press aswell. Non-Commercial Use: Please note that this design is intended for personal and non-commercial use only. Nut and Bolt Compatibility: The design is optimized based on the nuts and bolts available to me; for best results, use similar hardware when assembling. The inserts: only work in 1 or 2 position. Make sure you print the right one for the right corner. On both sides of Clam files: There is room to Snap in a single line of filament. Bolts screw directly into components: See last picture as example (needs a bit of force)

I try to post all of my prints, renders, and animations to build a portfolio of my projects, often in advance of publishing the models. This way, you can get a sneak peek of what's coming next! https://www.instagram.com/smackmax_/
