Description

I decided to design this box as a copy from an old one that is no longer catalogued for a liquid nitrogen tank to storage cryogenized samples in our laboratory. PP and PLA materials were the most stable, however PP bends and PLA shatters if the temperature changes drastically, as, for example, taking the box out of the tank during summer temperatures. ABS, PETG and PLA-CF were also tested and proved too brittle.
