British Phone Booth

I made some significant modifications when creating my model: 1. The door panels did not exactly "snap in" as shown in the video, so I glued all three sides firmly in place. To replace the door-knob, I reprinted the door without it and attached a small magnet with matching polarity to the knob on one side and inside the door frame on the other. This creates a weak but sufficient latch that keeps the door securely closed while allowing for easy opening and item replacement when sitting on a shelf. Additionally, I opted for silver trim instead of gold to match the new knob. 2. I had an extra 3 LED PCB from a broken stick-up lamp lying around, so I decided to repurpose it as shown in the pictures. The PCB already came with a built-in resistor designed for use with a 4.5V supply powered by four AAA cells, but since my project uses a single rechargeable 18650 battery providing approximately 4.0V, the LEDs are not excessively bright and function well. 3. I was concerned that it would be difficult to determine when the battery has reached full charge capacity, so I used a small drill bit and carefully drilled a tiny hole near the USB port, allowing me to visually check whether the charging LED is illuminated.
