Your box is awesome, thanks from the present future. Just finished a print yesterday, and the hinge works flawlessly compared to the other split-box styles that dont separate smoothly. Only thing I'm gonna add is some chamfer to the edges so nobody pokes an eye out 👌
Glad you like it. I kept the edges sharp because I wanted the boxes to stack together perfectly flat on the shelf, but a chamfer will certainly make them more comfortable and safe for handling.
if you could do some sort of catch mechanism so it stayed shut even if turned upside down, and lined the inside with something soft that would honestly be a very decent deck box.
The friction honestly seems to do most the work for latching closed no problem. I do like the idea of lining this with some felt or so though o.0 great ideas
To cure to the build plate the first few layers have increased exposure times. Then it slowly decreases the exposure time to the standard exposure time. This will make the top thicker. How did you print this without worrying about suction and the print sticking to the FEP? Did you have a drain hole I didn't see?
I never had the thicker layers with my Mars printer at the base, even with the higher exposure times, and with the Saturn it goes well beyond the bottom high exposure layers, it's almost an inch into the piece that is wider. And no holes, it sticks to the plate much better than the film, so it stays on the baseplate just fine. I've printed 12 of these right on the baseplate and none of them detached.
looks good... but i find it kinda wierd you went with a resin print and not a FDM print... designed my own deckbox that i printed on my prusha with a hole in the front so you couuld see the commander trough it and holes for small magnets...
I'm only sanding the box because my printer is creating a wider base with visible layer lines. If you have your printer settings tuned correctly you shouldn't need to sand this print at all.
I think the printing issues you are getting are from the way you are positioning the box to print. I guess you might have figured it out. It might create a suction effect like putting a glass upside down into water. Maybe that is stretching and ripping the bottom layers. The issue dissapears ones you are over the angled part. Not sure if useful, but i wanted to share my thoughts.
@@pysokon7714 Yeah, tried a few different times, and it has a small effect, but even below the recommended base curing times for resins I still get a flair at the bottom of my prints.
I just got the same printer and this video was excellent for helping me understand the process because I've never tried it before. Thanks
Oh no, what's this?! A 3d printer entering my shopping cart?! Great video, very interesting and fun to watch.

A monoW commander player after my own heart. I salute you!
Sanding right in the house is pretty badass!
Nice print and great video! I'm looking into getting into personal 3d printing for myself (inspired by deck boxes just like yours)
Amazing box , im going to try printing it!

really nice work
A year later, how are these holding up?
A couple had the resin crack, usually from an accidental drop, but most are doing fine.

how is the durability like?

I don't own an FDM printer.
Very Very impressive!!!! ☆☆☆☆☆
sorry, what program did you use to create the model?
AutoDesk Fusion 360.
Link is broken😢
Thank you for letting me know, I've fixed the link.
you could maybe fill the symbol with epoxy to avoid sanding it

It happens to me with every print on the Saturn, regardless of the shape or contact area.
@@TavarinProductions interesting. Have you tried different bottom layer exposure times?

bro tutorial so fast i can barely keep up yo
It wasn't meant to be a tutorial, just a video to show something I made.
