If you want to implement StvPtrsn's excellent dry box made from a tote yet use self tapping screws instead of bolts and locknuts, this is your remix.
This design will 3D print the Spool Mount with pre-drilled holes for self tapping screws. There are two file variations to accommodate either of the following screw sizes:
6x of 3.5mm x 12mm Self Tapping Screws
For example, workable:
3.5mm x 12mm Hex Hexagon Head Self Tapping Screws Silverhttps://amzn.to/391lZ2W.
-or-
6x of M3 X 10mm Self Tapping Screws
For example, workable:
M3 X 10mm Stainless Steel Cross Pan Head Self Tapping Screws Boltshttps://amzn.to/38YNpqd
The key here is flexibility. Anything remotely close to the above should work fine.
More details:
This is a remix of one part of StvPtrsn's "Sterilite 20qt Filament Storage System" — which is hands down the best solution I've found for a dry box made from a plastic tote. Works great! Easier and faster to setup than other designs! Compared to others, it has fewer parts to print, and is a much better approach.
So why this remix on one of the two parts?
His approach calls for bolts and locknuts. However, it's just as doable with lowly self-tapping screws, meaning it's less demanding on hardware, offers more flexibility, and is even faster and easier.
Kudos to StvPtrsn for his excellent design.
