TRX4m trailer tongue box

This is a storage box for the tongue of the Traxxas trailer for the TRX4m. Itshould fit on the tongue where indicated by picture four, without need for trimming or adhesive. I will print this soon, and update this listing as soon as I have post-print photos. Hopefully it is all measured right. The lower parts should fit right into the cutouts of the tongue, and should be pretty snug once fitted in. The lid should fit on top by friction, or you could keep it on with a rubber band.

UPDATE POST-PRINT: I printed this @15% infill, and I learned that I hadn’t designed it quite right. The upper part of the box fits fine, but the part that snaps into the tongue is too large. I am working to correct that, so feel free to bookmark this, but I wouldn’t advise you print it unless you’re okay with a lot of trimming. I will have the newer file up as soon as I can.

I think the easiest way to print will be the way I've configured it, which will require supports on both the bottom of the box and the bottom of the lid. Cura is saying just shy of three hours and 32g of filament for this print at 15% infill with tree supports. However, it only gains ~ten minutes and 3g to do 70% infill, so really however solid you want it to be, you can do. You shouldn't really need to print anywhere over 25% infill.

If you print this, please post a make! It helps me gauge community engagement and know what I need to do better. Your feedback is incredibly helpful to me!
