Bye, bye Plex!

What a shocking chapter of “Plex and the Quest for Investiblity!”

That’s awesome, sounds like we made identical configurations! For the original roller, I ended up having to widen the part with the spoke 1mm so that my bearings would roll, but it seemed like such a waste to use 4 per box. It wasn’t until a few weeks later I came across cmyk’s solution. I really like it except it is a bit difficult to get a nut to interface with a screw. I think I have the knack down now. Really, I could almost see not using a screw and nut with it since it fits together so tightly, but if I didn’t do it, it would probably come apart at the worst time during a print.

Who was “him” that Bill says was fucked?

I went with gunplamark’s Ultimate Cereal Drybox too. For mine, I did his remix with cmyk’s precision single bearing rollers (https://www.printables.com/model/1339511-precision-single-bearing-spool-rollers) instead, which only uses two bearings instead of 4 per box. I also made myself a pegboard adapter using Sy’s pegboard pegs and a blank hanger.

Ahh, the Prussian Curse!

Nice! I really like these boxes based upon that cereal box, but you have to watch out, there are copycats of the Wildone. This is the one you should buy (and appears to be the one you used): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NP98YKY.

At first, I accidentally purchased ones by “MCIRCO.” Despite having almost the exact same product pictures, they are not the same.
