I needed to create some flexible wine storage a while back and created these… folding, stackable, wine stackers (crates) that you can stack and scale as needed. These are really version 2.0 as I redesigned them recently with improved geometry, assembly and size, making them much stronger and easier to use.
I have made two versions; a 3 bottle per layer version and a 2 bottle per layer version. The 3-bottle version requires a 300mm print bed, while the 2-bottle version can be printed on a 250mm bed.
These wine crates are made from only two parts; the fixed end walls and the folding side walls (you need two of each for each layer of the “crate”). These parts all snap together and then the completed structure folds to collapse for storage when not needed.
Printing
I have tried to make my main print settings visible on the Cura screenshot but in case they are difficult to read I have summarized them here…
Screenshot
Material: I choose to use PETG for its durability and flexibility.
My Setup: Nozzle = 0.4mm
My Settings: Layer height = 0.2mm Line width = 0.4mm Wall count = 4 (1.6mm) Infill = 40%
I am now posting all of my new designs on Thangs.com and plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Some of my older designs may not have been migrated over yet so if they are not available on Thangs.com please check on Thingiverse.
Use, Licensing, Comments and Feedback
My primary distribution site for my design files is Thangs.com. Thangs.com is, in my opinion, leading the way in promoting designers and competition amongst designers which in turn fuels the growth of high-quality 3d printable designs for the benefit of our entire community. However, as a result, some of my designs are only available for free for 1 week from when first posted, so please download them when you see a new file available that you are interested in. Also, please like and save to help me with the competitions.
I do not permit the use of my designs for commercial purposes (i.e. you can not sell my design(s) or products printed from my design(s)) without first acquiring a commercial license from me. On Thangs.com I offer membership accounts for access to all my design files as well as a membership for commercial licensing which allows subscribers to sell printed products using my designs.
I welcome comments and feedback as we as requests for customization of designs. I will do my best to accommodate those requests.
