Infinite Nozzle Storage

This can be used to store any kind of small parts, but I designed it for use with nozzles.

All pieces fit together, and can be printed at 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle, although I'd suggest a thinner layer height because of the threading. No supports.

Each container (at 100% scale) fits 10-12 nozzles comfortably,but can theoratically be printed as large as you want, although other sizes are untested. All models in the photos were printed with a layer height of 0.15mm, but 0.2mm should work as well. I wouldn't go bigger than 0.2mm because of the threading unless you scale the parts up.

The containers can be printed with or without a label, and the labels are included. The pictured labels were printed with a 0.2mm nozzle, but will work with any nozzle with a bit less detail. They were printed in white for the base and the associated color for the number (switch filaments mid-print). Once printed, they snap into the rectangular space of the container, although I added a small drop of super glue to keep them secure.

The washers should be printed in TPU - I used black NinjaFlex. If you can't print TPU for whatever reason, you don't technically need the washers, but they help greatly with the "feel" of it and help the labels align with each other when muliple pieces are screwed togther.

If you just want one small, un-labeled container, you can just print the caps and a washer. They will fit together like the black ones pictured.

After printing:

Slide each TPU washer past threading into groove in body.

If printing labeled version: 1) Remove the pre-made support. It should come off easily. 2) Once printed, the label itself should just pop in, although a tiny drop of super glue works well. Try to print these labels as precisely as possible, and depending on your print settings you may need to sand the edges slightly if they don't fit in place. I didn't need any sanding with a 0.2mm nozzle and line width.
