  1. I just finished a big update for my LR2052 storage box system 😊 All series are now at revision E, and I added new plain storage box variants for every height.

    I also included a few requested tweaks, like open-bin boxes with a higher front wall.

    There are now 8000+ files (3MF + STEP, ~32GB) available:

  2. I just released the first batch of revision E storage boxes. I rebuilt the pipeline to generate STEP and 3MF files, and the quality is noticeably better.

    New:
    • plain variants without label area
    • a minimalistic series label
    • meshes that follow the original surfaces more closely

  8. One of my favorite features of the PrusaXL is spool join! I can load up all my nearly empty spools, hit print, and let it do the rest. Here’s a batch of storage boxes printed with leftover PETG—Fiberlogy Vertigo, Prusament Galaxy Black, and Anthracite Grey.

    This model (LR2052-112D) was printed 18 times and is part of the free storage box set.

  11. Storage Boxes Feature Comparison #2
    (Revision C vs. D)

    In Revision C, the label area corners lacked perfect arcs with consistent thickness, and the 90º angle slowed down printing.

    Revision D introduces soft transitions and a 45º angle, solving these issues, though it slightly shortens the label area for one-unit wide boxes.

  12. Storage Boxes Feature Comparison #1
    (Revision C vs. D)

    In Revision C, the groove for aligning storage boxes on the rail grids was a weak spot. By lowering the point where the gap is bridged in Revision D, I’ve been able to strengthen this connection.

    The geometry step ensures the slicer aligns the bridges differently at the edge and center, enhancing stability.

  14. I’m still reviewing the geometries for revision D of my storage boxes. Currently, I’m doing test prints with challenging filaments like this 3DJake white PLA.

    As expected, there’s some curling at the inner corners where the rail grids cross. Fortunately, the latest version of PrusaSlicer has a new experimental option, “Avoid crossing curled overhangs,” which works quite well!

  16. Currently, downloads of the in-review revision D storage boxes are limited to those with a license. Once released, the usual large set will be available for free on Printables, just like before.

    Check out the free downloads of the previous revision here: printables.com/model/51203-sta

    Please note that some metadata, including the license attribute, may not be correctly set for the new boxes yet. This will be fixed when they replace revision C.

  17. Here are some key updates in revision D of the storage boxes:

    - Smoother transitions in the label area for faster printing.
    - Flatter part numbers on the side, and smaller ones tucked under the label area.
    - A flat, bridged area in the bottom grooves for increased stability.
    - Indents at groove crossings for better bridging by slicers.
    - Additional ribs to prevent warping with difficult filaments below the label area.
    - STEP files.

  18. I’ve completed the evaluations for the new geometries in revision D of my storage boxes. Now, I'm working on designing new variants for the main series.

    You can browse or download a subset of the models from this new revision here: lr2052.luckyresistor.me/browse

    This process will take some time, so stay tuned for more updates.

  19. I've just released a new insert for my storage box system. This particular design allows for vertical storage of small paint tubes, making them super accessible and easy to manage.

    I've created four variants to accommodate the different types of paint tubes I commonly use. If you find that your tubes don't fit, let me know!

  20. I've never been able to print this quickly before! With the PrusaXL's large printer bed, I can theoretically print 6x6 units at once. In the photo, you'll see I managed a 6x4 and a 2x4 unit rail grid on a single print, using a 0.8 mm nozzle for speed.

    Just two of these prints completely fill a drawer measuring 48 x 48 cm.

  21. Zooming in on the details!

    This photo showcases the "Schraubenkiste" font I chose for this label, printed on a neat 6mm strip. I've positioned the label to conceal the printed spring mechanism underneath, ensuring everything looks sleek and organized. Perfect for those who appreciate a tidy workspace!

  22. Ever wondered how I create labels with the exact shapes of screw heads?

    I use the "Schraubenkiste" font, perfectly designed for this task! Found it a few years ago and it's been super handy.

  23. Just released my latest project: a Tool Bit Holder Insert for the LR2052 Storage Box System! 🎉

    This handy insert is designed to neatly organize and securely hold your tool bits, perfect for those bits you don't use every day but need to keep within easy reach.

    Printed with a built-in spring mechanism, each bit stays snugly in place.

  24. I've been stacking these boxes to maximize the vertical space in my drawers, keeping all those cables neatly organized.

    Featured here are models 113D and 123D, both part of the free set in revision C.

  25. Recently, I printed a new set of medium-sized storage boxes using white PETG filament from Fiberlogy. It’s nearly as easy to handle as PLA, which makes the printing process smooth.

    I also tweaked the seam settings on my Prusa XL to mitigate the seam gap issue using localized random seams, inside and out about 5mm apart. Not beautiful, but structural sound.

    Using them to store cables in a very compact way.

  26. After printing many small storage boxes, I've moved on to larger ones. Here you see models 323C and 322C.

    In this project, I hit the limits of the PrusaXL's balance between speed and stability. For these taller boxes, I recommend using slower print profiles to improve layer adhesion, especially when working with brittle filaments like PLA.

  27. As I reorganize my workshop drawers I've got a cool side view of the storage boxes stacked in layers.

    The green ones are filled with nails I seldom use, and the blue ones house nylon spacers and screws. By arranging them vertically, I make the most of every inch of drawer space. I even use half-height boxes to double up on storage in the same area. It's all about maximizing efficiency!

  28. Next up, I labeled and filled all these new storage boxes with assorted LEDs and IR sensors. I don't use them often, but testing out different colors and brightnesses is easier now. With everything neatly organized in these boxes, I can store and arrange them more flexibly. It's all about keeping my workspace tidy and efficient!

  29. Thanks to my PrusaXL's large print bed, I managed to print 36 storage boxes all at once!

    However, not all went smoothly—the cheaper filament I used didn't stick well, and one box lifted off the bed. Thankfully, the cancel object feature came to the rescue, allowing me to stop printing just that one box without disrupting the rest.

    The shown boxes are LR2052-111D: lr2052.luckyresistor.me

  30. I finally tackled my chaotic pile of plastic bags—the old system just wasn't cutting it anymore. So, I filled another drawer with neatly packed and labeled storage boxes. Although it's a quick fix, I often delayed this step and ended up rummaging through bags of screws instead of finding what I needed at first glance.

  31. Just transformed leftover filament into sleek, shiny blue storage boxes! 🎉

    Although I could have fit 36 units on my PrusaXL's bed, I opted for some spacing to ensure quality.

    With this print, I'm also testing out revision D of the 100 series with various nozzle sizes.
