StitchBro Stacking Storage Box for Embroidery Floss

Now in two sizes!

Larger beds should print the 23_slot size files, while people with smaller beds should use the 20_slot size files. 

You'll need a few stacking Boxes, and a Lid for the top box.

If you have all the DMC colors, you'll need some Labels to affix to the front, and some Inserts so your slots are labeled on the inside. 

BOX

My preferred print specifications: .4mmHF nozzle, .20mm SPEED preset, supports (everywhere), and 15% gyroid infill. This is a fairly simple print so feel free to experiment. 

I find a small screwdriver is useful in removing the supports. 

BOX (customized)

If you want a box with fewer (or more) slots, download Bobbinbox_generator, open it with OpenSCAD, and replace the slotnumber variable with your preferred number of slots. No other changes are needed. Each slot will change the measurement by approximately 9mm. 

LABELS

The label and inserts print separately from the boxes so that thread can be re-organized and re-labeled. I hold them in place with a bead of hot glue, so they don't rattle but can be easily removed at a later date. 

LABELS (customized)

I want to make labels for different numbers

Download the label generation scads, and open the file named numbers_to_print. Remove the numbers you don't want to print and/or add your own. Then open and render bobbinbox_labels. 

I want to make labels for a different sized box

Download the label generation scads, open bobbinbox_labels and change the variable named ‘number of slots.’ Render. 

I want the labels printed directly on the box

I envy your commitment. The labels and the box walls are the same thickness, so the labels can be placed easily and combined using prusaslicer. You will need an MMU to pull this off. 

BOBBINS

Fits standard store-bought stitchbow bobbins. 

The numbered ones from the photos can be found here.
