Customisable - Wall mount pen holder or storage tib - optional latice base - openscad - parametric

A remix of thing:3658944 adding the ability to have a cutout webbed base(optional) to prevent the pot filling up with rubbish. I use these in the shed for pencils, allen keys etc. Where the original can fill with saw dust over time with this version most mess falls through and the rest is quickly sorted with airgun or vacuum.

Design has the following customizable options:

base_cutout=true; // enable or disable the cutout on the base, without this enabled the design is same as the original

screw_diameter = 5; // diameter of the back wall screw holes

hole_diameter = 20; // diameter of the front holes used to screw the unit into the wall

cylinder_height = 80; // height of the pot

cylinder_inner_radius = 27; // The inner radius of the pot, total width is this plus wall_thickness*2

wall_thickness = 1.22; // wall thickness, 1.22 is good for a 0.4 nozzle

base_cutout_multiplier=5; // the size of the cut out sections relative to the wall_thickness, change this option last after choosing sizes and wall thickness, tune till you are happy with the size, width and number of sections.

Any questions please let me know, this was a quick mod but I have made a few different sizes without issues, I have uploaded a sample STL of the last size I printed.

If you want a custom size making and don't have access to openscad(it is free opensource sw) then let me know and I will try to add other useful sizes.

Print Settings

Printer Brand: Creality

Printer: CR-10 Mini

Rafts: No

Supports: No

Resolution: 0.3

Notes:

Infill will depend on the wall thickness, with the default wall thickness on a 0.4mm nozzle you get 3 layers of filament so always have 100% infill, if you need sturdier wider walls then tune infill as needed.
