Chamber of Secrets Mechanical Box (small)

This is a 50% scaled-down version of the Chamber of Secrets Mechanical Box: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4418309 Please read the description of the original models for more details. This remix is much easier to print since the objects are smaller, but significantly harder to assemble due to the same reason. Changes made to the original model scaled down by 50%: 1. Hinges are reworked and are much sturdier. 2. Gears are larger in size. 3. The crown is completely remodeled. 4. The cage is thicker and taller to accommodate the larger gears. This model requires complex assembly which includes a long video of over an hour, sanding of the parts, and a lot of gluing. Please check out the assembly video. Most of the parts can be printed with 0.2mm layer resolution, but the p_high_resolution.stl file contains parts that are better suited for 0.1mm layers. Objects are grouped together to make printing easier, but if you need to print one particular object, please check the all_objects.zip archive which contains all models as separate files. File sources.zip contains OpenSCAD sources of this model.

Some additional information: Snake bodies are made from elastic shoelaces 3mm thick. They don't have to be elastic because there is no stretching required.
