I created a version of my storage box for 45º belt printing. It would be ideal for mass production. Because I do not own a belt printer, this design is a wild guess. If you own one, I invite you to test this design.
The box has to be printed sideways, the shorter side in belt direction.
The walls of the box are optimised for a layer height (belt direction) of 0.2mm and a 0.4mm nozzle, which will create walls with four lines. It should also work with a 0.6mm nozzle, where it created 3 lines for the walls.
Let me know if this works!
This box is experimental and not compatible with my existing box system for regular 3d printing.

I just received the Adafruit PCB coaster and was pleasantly surprised—photos don't do it justice. Made from 2.4mm FR4 with a transparent solder mask and black silkscreen, it blends cold and copper tones nicely. Read on for my quick impressions and close-up photos.
