Rugged Box with Modular Slots (Parametric) - Shallow height (multi row version)

The rugged box and inserts are based on my parametric “Rugged Box”.

The size of the inserts and the box itself (number of rows/slots) can be modified in Fusion 360 (f3d file available in the files section).

IMPORTANT: If you want to have more than two rows, you may run into a problem that the lid cannot be closed because of the inserts standing out 5 mm. You have to check if there is enough clearance first (I never tested it).

If you need a the same box, but with only one row, a remix can be found here.

There's also a version which has higher slots and provides many different inserts for batteries, SD cards or GoPro.

Inserts

Download all the available inserts from my older (one row only) model:
https://www.printables.com/model/454281-rugged-box-with-modular-slots-parametric-shallow-h/files

NOTE 1: Make sure you download the “V2” version, because the older inserts can cause problems when closing the lid.

NOTE 2: You can (and SHOULD) fine tune the inserts in your slicer to make them fit perfectly as you want them to fit (firmer or looser), if you don't want to change it in F360. For smaller changes this is much more convenient.

Select the insert, make sure the “ratio-lock” is disabled and slightly adjust the X and/or Y dimensions as needed (here I changed X and Y by 0.05 mm to make them slide in smoothly):

Assembly

You will need six 30mm M3 screws to assemble it.

Cut a piece a foam (~10 mm thick) for the lid to hold down the inserts when closed.

Screws

I like these screws which have a nice round head:
Allen hex socket button head screw

Or, if you want no screw head at all, which I personally like even more:
Hex socket set screws

Note: I recommend the stainless steel ones. The blackened ones are oily and have to be cleaned.

Multiple rows possible instead of only a fixed one in the original model
