Overengineered 5.45x39 ammo box (wavy layout)

Other projects from overengineered ammo box series:

The video shows a box for a different caliber, but the principle of operation is the same

File names are shared across the entire project family. A part with a given name from one project will fit as a part with the same name from another project.

Additionally, a capital letter in parentheses indicates "the box size" a given part fits (e.g., 5.56x45 and 5.45x39 trays can be used interchangeably in the same mechanism).

Bill of materials (printing suggestions)

• bottom (B) (organic support and brim enabled)

• top cover (B) (80% infill for extra primer protection)

• gearbox base (B), one normal, one mirrored (support)

• cam gear (ABC), two normal, two mirrored

• idler gear (ABC), 4 pieces

• gear latch (ABC), 2 pieces

• 5.45x39 tray bottom (B) (organic support)

• 5.45x39 tray top (B) (organic support)

• plug(B), 2 pieces

• two pieces of 91 mm long filament, diameter 1.75mm

Additional models in the project:

Gear latches with different snap forces. Could be used instead of the gear latch (ABC).

• gear latch - (ABC) (weaker than standard)

• gear latch + (ABC) (stronger than standard)

• gear latch ++ (ABC) (the strongest one)

Alternative flat layout trays (normal and lightweight to save filament and printing time)

• 5.45x39 tray (B)

• 5.45x39 tray lightweight (B)

I hope the provided step-by-step instructions are sufficient for assembling the box. Please note that assembly should be carried out without excessive force (except for installing the latch). After assembly, it's a good idea to turn the cam gears until they stop at the end of their travel.
