Poker Chip Storage for Ammo Can

Tired of the flimsy poker chip carrying case flexing and possibly breaking?  Print these inserts to use in an ammo can!  Designed to carry chips, decks of cards, and dealer/blind chips, they carry all the necessities for a poker night.  Strike fear in your opponents and show them you mean business with poker ammo!

These inserts are designed to fit inside a standard US 50 caliber ammo can (internal measurement of 279mm L x 141mm W x 174mm H).  Each can fits two inserts and holds a total of 660 chips (casino sized chip ~40mm x 3.7mm).  22 chips fit in each slot.  Two inserts are made to allow easier removal from the can, since it will have some heft when fully loaded.

I took into account the handle protrusion at the bottom of the can and included a Base Adapter to support the insert.  Default is 4mm thickness.  The width and length are not super critical, so just make sure to adjust that it fits inside the can and has enough thickness to be taller than the handle protrusion.

I have a Lid that is placed on the top insert to prevent the chips from sliding out during transport if the can tips over.  Another use is that it allows easy removal of the chips.  With the lid on, flip the insert over, carefully separate the lid, and slide the insert up and way.  All the chips will be stacked neatly for you to divvy up.

The dealer chip and deck of cards (if used), may need to be removed in order to lift the inserts out of the cans especially if you have fat fingers.  My fingers are quite large and can still remove the inserts without removing the decks, albeit a little more difficult.  I find using the thumbs for the top insert and then the index fingers for the bottom to be the best for me.

My ammo can had an internal measurement of 279mm L x 141mm W x 174 mm H, so measure your ammo can first, because some cans are not in the best shape.  The fit is not super tight and there should be a few mm between the insert and the walls of the can.  I created two sizes (normal and Wider) to accommodate slight variances.  Otherwise, you will need to scale it, but be careful scaling smaller since it may cause your chips not to fit.

I printed with a .6 nozzle with 2 vertical and 3 horizontal walls at 10% infill with no supports (.65 extrusion widths and .25mm layer height).  You may be able to get away with even less infill since the prints are still very sturdy.

Print two bodies, one lid, and one base adapter.
