Hexagonal Impossible Dovetail Box

thingiverse

Here's a challenging dovetail box that I designed. A fun little twist (literally) to this box is the inner compartment that allows the box to have a full-length dovetail, while also ensuring that whatever gets stored inside won't interfere with the lid sliding on and off. I hope you enjoy it! **Important**: Print parts as oriented in the .STL file. Supports should be used, even though I tried to design the internal structure of the inner body to create bridges and layers. The purpose of the orientation is to guarantee that the dovetail features themselves are properly toleranced, and with the best finish possible. I would be very concerned if the dovetail features were printed face-down on the bed about bridges sagging into the path of the dovetail mechanism itself.
