NO, THERE IS NO WAY TO GET A LICENSE TO SELL THE BOX COMMERCIALLY.
MY DESIGNS WILL ALWAYS BE FREE FOR NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.
PLEASE STOP ASKING!
The design is based on the "Tool box parametric" by Yanev and provides some more options to parameterize it in Fusion 360.

Remixes
Some of my own remixes:
Important
The current STL files in the download section are all V1 only. If you want the newer design, use the Fusion 360 file and customize it as needed (that's recommended anyway, as there are many parameters to adjust)
Screws
I like these screws which have a nice round head:
Allen hex socket button head screw
Or, if you want no screw head at all, which I personally like even more:
Hex socket set screws
Note: I recommend the stainless steel ones. The blackened ones are oily and have to be cleaned.
Updates
24.08.2022:
V2 release:
The front and back ribs are changed a bit to not have the full depth for the full height (see V2 details below). Looks much nicer like this (but V1 is still available)
The offset of the chamfer for each of them is configurable individually (…RibChamferOffset Parameters). This way you can make the latch easier to open by lowering the offset, or make it less likely to open by accident by increasing the offset and cover the latch completely.
If you wish you can now increase the size of the hinge to make it more sturdy (but I would not recommend it. It's more a hack…)
The width of the outer parts of each hinge can now be set to make it more sturdy (only useful when using screws longer than 25 or 30 mm)
18.08.2022:
Added “FLUKE Edition”
28.08.2022: Moved to a separate model: https://www.printables.com/model/267524-fluke-rugged-case-with-foam-insert
Changes made
All parts in one F360 file
Contains a seal to print in TPU (will not make it 100% water tight)
Additional parameters:
The position of the latches and ribs (distance from the sides)
The diameter and length of the screw (to support different sizes / latch widths)
The inner chamfer size
Separate parameters for the widths of the ribs on the side and for the hinges/latches
Several tolerances to fine tune it for your printer
To assemble it you need 6 screws in total. For the provided STL files you will find the correct size in the folder names.

Printing Rugged Box (Parametric)
For Rugged Box (Parametric) we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
