This is a OpenSCAD design for a mineral collection showcase holding standard 40x20 mm carton boxes. It´s parametrized by:
-
Square box size (add a couple of milimeters for the boxes to fit in):
model3d-mineral-box/mineralBox.scad
Lines 1 to 2 in 6121b87
-
Number of columns and rows:
model3d-mineral-box/mineralBox.scad
Lines 3 to 4 in 6121b87
-
Main frame tilt:
model3d-mineral-box/mineralBox.scad
Line 5 in 6121b87
-
Bottom box holder size:
model3d-mineral-box/mineralBox.scad
Line 6 in 6121b87
So it can be easily adapted to different boxes sizes.
These are some examples of a 3D print:
There is a second model cellBase.scad for a stand to hold minerals not glued to cardboard boxes:
- No infill density constraints as the structure doesn't require infill.
- It is recommended to be printed with the upper side facing down, adding supports to hold the legs.
