Cereal box - Dry box - Spool and Desiccant Holder

[granz]

One of the holders is currently printing - about an hour and forty five minutes remaining.

That one turned out pretty nice - the only trouble it that I have not been able to open the desiccant box. Any ideas, @Chris Savage?

It looks good, so I duplicated it, and was able to get two more onto the bed. That is printing now, and it should take another six-and-a-half hours. So, I should have all four tomorrow morning. The rest of my order should be here by the end of the week.

I'm confused...if you're printing the boxes I made, you don't open them, you close them. The lid slides on via grooves. What desiccant box are you trying to open?

I went to the MakerWorld link that you posted, and downloaded the .STL files (for some reason, I cannot open the files directly in the Bambu Studio program from the web site page. ) I believe that it is the "CerealBoxOriginal.stl" file that I printed. I can verify that tomorrow.

It's a box at the back of the spool holder. It printed with the slide door (lid) closed, and I cannot get it to slide open.

I'm already getting ready for bed, so I'll take a picture and post it tomorrow.

Hmmm, well, I now understand your issue, however, I don't know why you're having it. Everything I have printed has either been opened within the App on my Smart Phone, or imported into Bambu Studio. I never had an issue doing this, and that's important, because when you preview the primary profile, this is what you see:

As you can see, the cover for the desiccant box prints separately. I have never used an STL file with a Bambu Printer. I only ever used them on the Creality printers. On Bambu, everything is auto-sliced and downloaded to the printer automatically. I've never had to interact with an STL file.

If you look at the first post, I show a photo of the plate with all the parts printed on it. The box is open and the lid is next to it on the plate, along with the other parts.

That is strange. I do print directly from Bambu Studio, it' just that when I am in Maker World web site, and click on the "Open in Bambu Studio" button nothing happens. This is the same whether I have Bambu Studio opened, or not. I need to download the .STL files and then manually open them in Bambu Studio. Here is the preview of the "CerealBoxOriginal.stl" file:


Actually, I have opened every one of the .STL files in the download area, and none of them look like what you showed. Apparently when you "Open in Bambu Studio" it loads a different file. I need to figure out why my Studio doesn't open from the web page.

Very, very weird! There are numerous Print Profiles for that model on the linked page. I looked at a preview for ALL of them, and none of them looked like what you show. Most look like my preview, though some are combined or have other modifications. From the website you can preview the models. You have to select a profile before clicking the preview button since the photos never change. I've never had an issue with Bambu Studio opening on Windows 10 / 11. But to be honest, I only open in Studio if I am going to make changes, such as removing a part, changing the scaling or cloning the model. I typically print from the Bambu Handy app on my phone.

I almost forgot, I also use Bambu Studio for custom projects, such as the Acrylic LED Sign Shim. As far as I know, you can't use the app for custom projects, unless they're uploaded to MakerWorld.
