Definitely getting your monies worth out of that printer!

While not as fancy as Ed's tool storage boxes, at least it's functional.  It's a hitch ball cover for the back of the ATV.  Since I keep it greased, it was often covered in mud and gunk after riding.  This keeps it reasonably clean and ready for use.

Now it just needs an R2-D2 paint job.

It's been a couple of days since I posted about a box so I thought I better do it today so you don't think I'm dead.

Feeler gauges and center gauges this time.

Completely useless, and I'll probably give it to someone at work, but it was fun to assemble.

That looks like it's made of a lot of printed parts. Well done!

It's a "card" print. I scaled it up to fill the print bed. Thingiverse file.

What's a card print? A search only showed me greeting cards when searching on "card print".

Originally, they were business card sized things, that you punched out to assemble a rocket or something. 2D to 3D type of things. Now they include much larger sizes and are printed sorta like model kits; all connected and usually a frame around them. Star Wars and Star Trek ships are very popular.
