Nozzleception Nozzle Box

It's a nozzle-shaped box for nozzles! A nozzle nozzle box!Nozzleception!

It's anexact 10:1 reproduction of a 0.4 mm E3D v6 nozzle, based off official schematics. Inside it has room to store up to 24 nozzles. If you print it with metallic filament, it's basically impossible to tell it from a real nozzle. Be sure not to store it inside itself, or accidentally install it in your printer.Some 3d printers get hot enough to melt plastic!

Notes: 

STLs provided are in their preferred orientation, which puts any marring from supports on the inside of the box so the outside looks pristine.

The screw threads have 60° overhangs over a convex curve, so they can be pretty fussy to print. If you get rough or droopy overhangs, try increasing the extrusion width (not extrusion multiplier) for perimeters and external perimeters for the screw piece. You can increase this by a lot on this model (I used 0.7 mm with a 0.4 mm nozzle, and it looks great).

The two smaller hexagonal pieces hold the nozzles themselves (and help keep the lid on), and are meant to be printed in a flexible filament. I used an 85A TPU, but anything 95A or softer should work. Semi-flexibles probably will not.

The neck piece should be glued into the screw piece, and the rubber parts should be a good friction fit inside the box and lid, or glued if you need to. The one with the chamfer goes in the lid side to make closing the box smooth.
