Why do we sell ammo boxes?
I am often asked “why do you print and sell ammo boxes?” So I thought I would try to answer that question here.
Like so many other makers, about the same time I purchased my first 3D printer, I discovered Thingiverse. And then I started to wonder what I should print. So I reached out to friends and family and told them about Thingiverse, and to search for a few things they would like, and I would try to print it for tem.
Well, my brother-in-law is an avid shooter, and reloads some of his own ammo, as well as purchases some bulk ammo to save a few dollars. He discovered a few ammo boxes and asked me to create them for him.
So I did. I printed three boxes (9mm, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP). I also learned that using Tinkercad, I could adorn the lid.
The brother in law was happy with them and continues to use them.
