Fly Box with Tackle Storage

I am happy to anounce that version 2 is here! Thank you for the downloads! I apreciate that my designs is getting printed :)

This tackle box is designed to hold the essentials for setting up dropper fly rigs for sea trout fishing. It has a compartment on the top for organizing various flies, while the bottom features 6 smaller and 6 larger compartments for commonly used tackle, like swivels, rings, beads, and hooks. This box keeps everything dry, in good condition and easy to find.

For the fly compartment, use hot glue to attach a piece of EVA foam. This foam allows flies to be securely held in place, with the hooks embedded in the foam, preventing damage and keeping everything organized. I recommend using 5-8 mm thick foam. You can purchase EVA foam here (amazon.de) or here (amazon.com). **Not affiliated!**

N.B. the text on the box says “FLIES AND TACKLE” not “TASLAB TACKLE BOX”.

Printing instructions:

The design is optized for FDM printing.

I am using a Prusa MK4 printer and Prusa PETG filament. PLA is not recommended in this case, as the print-in-place hinges are designed for the strength of PETG. It is also advised to print in an enclosure to avoid warping, as even a small amount of warping will affect the box's ability to close properly.

I use the following settings:

- Filament: Prusa PETG - Nozzle temp: 240 ° - Bed temp: 90 ° - Nozzle: 0.4 mm - Layer: 0.20 mm (Quality) - Infill: 15% Grid - Support: For support enforcers only (Paint-on supports like shown in pictures) - No brim Happy printing and happy fishing :)
