Forum regulars will know that I’ve been investigating openSCAD as my future 3D printing CAD program. I did create a small clip for my Ender 5 cable mgmt, but this is what I would call my truly design-thru-print openSCAD project.
To go along with the floor brush and air-powered hand vac attachment holders, I wanted 2 boxes to hold the vacuum’s dust bags. I wanted them to be able to hold the box the bags come in, even if I didn’t keep them in the boxes.
Another must have was that the boxes had to be designed from the ground up to use 3M Command Strips to hold them to the back of the vacuum cleaner closet.
A really nice to have was to safe on filament, and make the holders lighter, by incorporating cutouts in the design.
This is what I came up with:
[ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“medium”,“data-attachmentid”:3919}[/ATTACH]
It took surprisingly little ‘code’ to create this.
I rendered the design & exported an STL of it.
Here are 3 overall photos of the print:
[ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“medium”,“data-attachmentid”:3923}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“medium”,“data-attachmentid”:3920}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“medium”,“data-attachmentid”:3921}[/ATTACH]
The walls are all 1.5mm thick.
Here is 1 more shot:
[ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“medium”,“data-attachmentid”:3922}[/ATTACH]
I took this one to show how the design was adapted for Command Strip use. The notches at the top are to allow access to the Command Strip pull tabs, so the box can be removed if desired. The solid areas under the 2 notches are to provide maximum adhesion area for the Command Strips.
