Dibs.

Ok, in all seriousness, how much?

how much what?

 

[Colquhoun]

.stl files open up in sketchup just fine! ...just need a 3D printer.

Thanks for sharing!

 

[tabletalker7]

how much what?

To make one and ship it to me

To make one and ship it to me

Ah, sorry, I'm not set up for mass production. Just sharing my journey and the 3D files for anyone who wants to attempt it. Perhaps @One Eyed Dollar would be interested in printing and selling those.

Love this thread! I was wondering though, how many chips could you get in a can if you didn't care about the extras? Going by some online measurements I think you can get 12 stacks of around 45 chips, or 540 chips, in a 30cal can. Obviously you lose the handle so I made a place to stick a lanyard or string to yank it out.

Still needs a fair bit of tinkering.

Maybe a sliding detachable handle might work.

A few prototypes later and I have one that fits my chips. The stack cutouts were coming out a little undersized so I had to make them a bit larger than I wanted.
Got to wait for the ammo can to arrive now, check that this fits, then print a full sized one.

It begins! See you in 12 hours.

It's going to take about 500g of filament . I might do a second revision to reduce or remove more plastic so it's not quite so heavy.

 

[Velyks]

Finished! Not the most perfect print but it fits! 48 chips per stack and 12 stacks gives you 576 chips total with no wiggle room.
I've attached the Fusion360 file and STL file in the zip if you want to customize and print off your own. I suggest printing just the first two layers to test the fit.

And thus ends my double-post spamming


Edit: Took it to a work game today, it's pretty heavy and the handle is uncomfortable to hold for a long time, but it's a darn sight easier than lugging around that long plastic suitcase with the exploding handles. I think next version I'm going to slim it down to fit 500 exactly, with enough room at the top to fit two bridge/poker decks and possibly a button.

Anyone here ever try to 3D print one of these ammo box inserts?

@scoobydoobs - For rebuy chips and cash storage.

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!

Would that work with this guy?

Based on the published specs it looks like this is shorter and wider than a standard 30 cal ammo box. So I would say no.

My insert is 253mm x 87mm x 156mm

 

[Riddler409]

Is there a place folks that don’t have 3D printers can buy one?

 

[Riddler409]

is there a 50 cal can insert in works?

You can google 3D print services and find a company that would do it.

Some libraries also offer 3D printing services.

That could be a fun project. I wonder how many chips it would be able to fit.

I bet a fairly descent sized set would fit in there with more "accessory" room

Do you happen to have the exact inside measurements of a 50 cal ammo case?

I wonder if you could save on shipping if you ask them to dump the dice chips.
