$2.50Snowflake Hinge Box

My Patreon supporters get this free :) I'm really having fun with print-in-place hinges at the moment, and this is the craziest little box yet!  It's a hexagonal, er, gem shaped thing with six independently-hinged lid segments.  And, once again, no supports required! This thing went through a few iterations before it ended up here, mostly around adjustments to the lid pieces to ensure that they didn't catch on each other at different points of rotation.  You'll see a few other subtle bits in the design, though, like a thin band on the inside of the hinge that makes the lid pieces close to exactly the right spot, vertically. I originally envisioned this as a pie-shaped box, but when I printed a test version in white it was just too obviously a snowflake, especially unfolded!
