Description

This is a remix of the original nozzlebox with options that fit Volcano and MK8 nozzles. Like the original, it prints in place and is locked by a magnet (6x2mm!) and an M3x6 (or smaller) screw. It doesn't come with any markings so that one can just add a sheet of paper (of which I attached a paper with the exact dimensions for a print-out)

The contraption is printed at an angle so that even dirty nozzles should fit – the bottom of the contraption is ~7mm apart while the top is ~6mm.

Thank you very much @dodasch for the original. It's been a very interesting journey trying to recreate this neat design.

The Onshape Document contains both versions, the box parameters can be changed easily, the tolerances and angles will probably be a bit trickier.

Printing

  • 0.2mm layer height
  • Well tuned flow (maybe lessen the outer-wall flow) so the hinge and the ball print properly

Assembly

  • Press the 6x2mm magnets into the holes on the bottom part
  • Screw the M3x6mm countersunk screws into the base of the top part

Warning

  • I didn't print the standard version, but reduced the height of the contraption and the box compared to the volcano box.
  • I didn't have 5x2mm magnets, so this version uses 6x2mm magnets. I can provide a 5x2mm version if there's demand for that.
