Buckle Box, Printable In One Piece

cults3d

This is my second attempt at a one piece hinged box with latch. This latch is significantly simpler to operate than my previous design, which I drew inspiration from. For further details about this box, please refer to the design it was based on. I am particularly impressed by this latch mechanism. It secures the box shut very effectively and the test model I printed exhibits excellent tolerance at both the hinge and the latch. With the testing phase now complete, I can move forward with designing my actual project. UPDATE: Version 2 files now feature a more forgiving latch. Upon reviewing the code, I discovered that the latch's tolerance was mistakenly set to half of the hinge's tolerance due to the hinge's built-in slop tolerance on both sides. This updated version should allow the latch to break free much more easily. Thank you to everyone who printed this design or attempted it for their feedback.
