NEST | Wicker Tissue Box

A slicker wicker tissue flicker.

Meet NEST, a fast-print tissue box fashioning a stylish wicker texture!

Any 3D printer can print it without exceptional print settings and a regular 0.4mm nozzle. (See settings below)

Happy printing!

DIMENSIONS | L226 mm x W 125 mm x H 110 mm

PRINTING | Box ~2h | Lid ~1h

V2 UPDATE: The weave on the latest version (V2) is twice as thick as the original version. It is now made of 2 walls (instead of 1 wall for the original version). So it is much stronger and prints much cleaner. Also, I added a clip system so the lid stays on when you pull the tissues.

3D PRINT SETTINGS The box and lid both print upright. (the STL files are all already oriented properly) No need for supports, or brim.

The top lid 3D appears full, not in a mesh-style like the one I printed in blue. This is not a mistake. So you can print the top lid full, like the red and black example on the pictures. Or if you want to turn it into a mesh like the blue example, you need to cancel the top and bottom faces by setting top layers and bottom layers to 0, set the infill to 30% (I used gyroid infill on the blue example).

For BambuLab users, turn on "Arachne" mode in the "Wall Generator" settings. Otherwise Bambu Studio will detect some of the weave layers as empty.

Layer height: 0.3mm/layer Wall line count: 3 Infill: 30% top layers: 0 (if you want the flat faces to be a mesh) bottom layers: 0 (if you want the flat faces to be a mesh) Build adhesion type: None Supports: None

If you want the top lips of the lid in a different colour than the lid (like the pink lid on the pictures), you can modify your Gcode to schedule a filament change at the layer where the lip starts. First, slice your model.

Then, in CURA go to: Extensions > Post Processing > Modify Gcode > Add Script > Filament Change And in there you input the layer where you need the filament change to happen. Slice your model once again so it updates your Gcode. And there you go! Ready to print!

In Bambu Studio, after slicing, scroll the layer scroller on the right of the screen until you reach the layer where you want the filament to change. Right click on your mouse and hit "pause" to schedule a filament change at that layer.
