A Simple Secret Box

cults3d

I've uploaded the files "Box Short.stl" and "Lid Short.stl", which represent a scaled-down version of the original box, reduced to 62.5% of its original height. These components also feature a refined design in the hidden corners, facilitating a secure grip on the box when closed. After successfully test-printing both parts, they yielded excellent results. This particular design has gained popularity over the years, with one notable example being crafted from wood just a few years ago. The 3D printed version presented here is remarkably simple yet surprisingly effective as a "secret" storage container. Upon close inspection, it appears to be impenetrable, but those who grasp the correct opposite corners on the proper end can easily open the box. Using Sketchup Make 2015 as the design platform and Makerbot Replicator 2 with Makerware 2.3.3.42 "Standard" settings for printing, I produced a high-quality PLA model featuring a .2mm layer height, 2 shells, and 10% infill density.
