You need to print 28 parts to complete the build and I used PLA for everything. Here is a list of the parts that need printing. The part numbers are just for reference and can be compared to the exploded diagrams available here. Please note that several have a “(x2)” in the name which indicates to print 2 of them. The character in the [] brackets is a colour suggestion which I will discuss further below.

Filament Colour
Filament colour for the most part is entirely up to you. But I found using 4 different filaments made a pretty nice end product (no AMS required). I have indicated my colour suggestions in the file names inside the square brackets []. I used the following nomenclature:
[b] – box elements & elements designed to blend into the box (I used white)
[r] – ribbon elements (I used blue/green filament)
[a] – internal accent elements, could be same as [r] (I used red)
[g] – alternative internal colours, could be anything and even same as any of the colours above, but I like to separate them (I used grey)
Here are all the parts repeated from above by grouped by my suggested colours:
[b] colour group – suggested White
111 Lid with Support [b]
113 Corner Gravity Lock (x2) [b]
231 Stowage Door Lid with Support [b]
411 Main Box [b]
412 Inside Top (Grid) [b]
611 Bottom Door with Support [b]
[r] colour group – external ribbon colour, suggested blue green silk or silk red.

122 Cap 2 Advanced [r]
123 Top Ribbon Key (x2) [r]
