Somewhat heavily modified parametric ammo box. Honestly, I can't remember if I modified the original or started from scratch, but I'll give credit to yossarianmtu. I added more parameters to change the size of the box for more or less ammo, made the lid so it will flip/stack, and added text to the lid.
*Use the original directions from Yossarianmtu*. My added parameters have descriptions, so it shouldn't be that complicated. Maybe the toughest part is navigating to the draw text file on the lid to change it. I have the text parameters set to automatically size comparatively to the box, but you can change it if needed.
The included .223/5.56 files allow for a 62gr ELD-VT loaded long, perhaps longer than most AR magazines allow. These bullets are longer than most. If you're printing the box for factory ammo, they will fit fine. Print the test pieces if you're unsure, which also allows you to check the lid tightness.
my .223 / 5.56 parameters:
- Case - 0.385"
- Shoulder - 23deg
- Neck Diameter - 0.259"
- Bullet Clrnc - 1.12"
- Lid Height - 2.505"
- TestBulletClrnc - 0.050"
- Lid Tolerance - 0.00" (my printer is dialed in)
my 243 parameters:
- Case - 0.48"
- Shoulder - 20deg
- Neck Diam - 0.285"
- Bullet Clrnc - 1.375"
- Lid Height - lost my notes :/
