Carp Fishing Hooklink & Rig Organizer - Easy Print

Here is my version of a rig box for carp fishing. I couldn’t find one that really satisfied me.
Printable from a bed size of 220mm x 220mm (e.g., Ender 5), it can store up to 16 rigs with a maximum length of about 230mm.

To print on a 220mm x 220mm bed, you’ll need to position the model diagonally (corner to corner). This can be a bit tricky – I’ve attached a screenshot for reference.

With a light press on the recess, the box can be opened. Otherwise, it stays securely closed.

The box can be printed quickly with a layer height of 0.20mm or 0.22mm.
The hinges should be printed with 0.10mm or 0.12mm so the overhangs and holes come out cleanly. If the hinges break, they can be reprinted—provided you can remove the glue. ;-)

The inserted foam should have a height of about 12–15mm. The pins used should therefore be about 10–13mm in length.

Of course, you can also use the box without any inserts.
The box is, of course, not waterproof, but this also allows the rigs to dry a bit if they are wet.

UPDATE:
I added bigger version (30cm). Now you can fit longer rigs, but you will need a bigger printer.

Assembly:
After printing, clean the hinge holes a bit. To connect them, use a piece of filament. If desired, you can slightly melt and thicken the ends.
If the hinges do not lay flat when opened, sand them lightly.
Only when both hinge parts are connected and fit well should you glue them into the side parts. After gluing, close the box and either weigh it down or fix it with two clamps—this way the box will open and close smoothly later.
I glue the hook holder with a distance of 15–20mm, but that depends on the hooks you use. The less space at the top, the longer the rig can be.

Note:
PLA (especially black PLA) can soften in the summer if left in the sun. My boxes are also made from PLA, but I make sure they stay in my backpack.
