Awesome. Honestly. I´m deeply impressed. Individually the functional design is already brilliant. Combining that with the ability to be printed in place just blew my mind! Thank you so much for sharing!
I rotate model manually, snap function in rotation, prusa slicer work great, 90, or 180 degree.most of time model import in horizontal, sleeping position on slicer bed.
I think it would be cool to add a second way to open it with a motor. Add at the ends of the thread for the open and close it could spin freely. So if using a drill, once it is open or closed there wont be any chance of damage. Love your project ideas
The helix tool can get you any customized thread. Quite useful, I am using Inventor, so guess it is similar to Fusion 360. I would suggest an Increase in pitch and thread count. Minimum 3 thread count with a larger pitch. Measure how far the leverage takes to open= pitch. From there you can choose how many turns you want to open it.
Thanks for sharing, looks awesome! Looking at the .STL, a guess in regards to the lay flat in Prusa Slicer issue is that some pieces are ever so slightly taller or shorter in the Z axis.
@@CalebKraftmakes They're all flat, and parallel, but at slightly different heights, so maybe Prusa Slicer is showing different places or heights you could lay it flat on? I'm just guessing.
I know another thing that would be really cool for that is somehow threading the top so you could have another insert inside the canister that comes up and out as the whole thing opens now I have no knowledge of doing any of this. In fact, I don’t even own a 3-D printer at this time, but I think that would be something spectacular to see if somebody could figure it out
To get it to open in a single turn, you will need to have a level plane at both the top and the bottom where the part will rest in the open or closed position. A slight detent that it sets in will prevent it from accidentally turning and falling closed due to gravitational forces. In the following video, the tutorial shows how to assign a number of revolutions that you want the threads to have for the given distance. It may be the answer you are looking for.

Very clever design! Thank you for explaining your thought process. 3D printing is amazing!

yes but WHY?! they're all perfectly planar in fusion. that's the question.

How did you figure out the clearances between the moving parts?
What clearance did you end up using?
.5 mm works on my printer. vertical surfaces won't touch and horizontal surfaces will actually break free of eachother!
Awesome stl, thank you for sharing! Always an instant sub
bro amazing
thanks!

sounds about right, I'll check out the video!
insane
thanks!
moo
the box is too big, it must have a 75 percent design
