Gift Box for CD

prusaprinters

I've seen several fun gift boxes on line and wanted to take a crack at making my own.This one is sized to hold a CD jewel case with a little extra room for padding.  To release the lid, you slide two of the side ribbons up and they compress the spring latch.I printed this at a layer height of 0.2mm out of PrusamentPLA for dimensional accuracy.The spring latches were a bit snug, but I sprayed a little silicone into the gaps and it now moves very smoothly.  Dry lube or graphite also work well.The two moving side ribbons snap into their tracks from below.  The rest of the ribbons are attached with superglue.I have to admit it required a little post processing.  Most likely because I only used Paint-on supports in the four 90 degree overhangs inside the moving side ribbon tracks.  It meant I had to take a small file to some of the inside corners of the ribbons, and inside the latch receiver slots in the sides of the box.  It didn't take much fine tuning, but I can't claim this model is perfect straight off of the build plate.  Even so, I'm pretty happy with the results.
