Hopefully you would of seen the black box that I 3D Printed the day before yesterday.

There were a lot of things wrong with the box so Yesterday I decided to revamp it.

To cut a long story short I made a right mess of it, I managed to sort the text out and put 2 sleeves inside the box to hold the bushes.
I have no idea how but I managed to miscalculate the size of the sleeves so they could not hold the bushes. Because I had sleeves inside I had to alter the size of the box and then miscalculated the size of the lid. The lid is dovetailed and the box has no internal measurement on my drawing.

Now the lid fits as snug as a bug in a rug, I am so happy with the dovetail.
The sleeves are almost perfect, certainly good enough for the box.

For how new I am into this I am thrilled with the results (albeit it is all very basic)

Nice job mate. Glad you’re enjoying yourself with it. :thumbs:


Thank you,

It is more to keep the mind active whilst stuck in bed, I am becoming very forgetful.
Hopefully I should be back making pens in a week or so and in the mean time I hope to make boxes for all of my Bushings and a mini rack to put them in :banana::banana::banana:
