prusaprinters

<p>A fun tool to help your kids understand the coronavirus. Some kids find it difficult to understand what's going on with the coronavirus, or struggle to keep the safety measures the adults "impose" them.</p> <p>This kit aims to tackle this issue with the help of magic tricks and a storyline.</p> <p>It can also be used by psychologists, which are now facing an increase of cases of stress in kids due to the coronavirus. I would love for this project to grow by public input, with more tricks/games and expanding the storyline, so feel free to share, comment or directly message me.</p> <p>I don't have access to a 3D printer, so the files might still need a bit of adjustment to properly fit. Any feedback is welcome.</p> <p>Update on 18/04/2020:<br/> I received feedback on the snap-on magical box, it appears to snap properly. They printed on a Creality CR10 with 0.6 nozzle and 0.3 layer height.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>To begin with, the kid should get his magical kit ready.

Just choose the one you want:</p> <p><em>Snap on</em> Prints only flat parts that must be assembled like a 3D puzzle.<br/> <em>Print in place</em> Has some hinges built in, so it can be printed flat and then flip the walls to close the box.<br/> <em>Minimum assembly</em> If you just want to have the box and get going.
