Hinged Small Parts Box with Latch

thingiverse

This is a compact small parts box with a secure latch system. It's perfect for storing small items like screws, nuts, resistors, and more. The lid fits snugly on top of the base, so you can shake or turn it upside down without worrying about its contents spilling out - the latch keeps everything securely in place. Convenient thumb pads are located on both the lid and the base for easy opening and closing. The hinge is designed to be attached using four M3x25mm machine screws. The hole tolerances should be tight enough to hold the screws firmly in place, yet still allow the lid to open smoothly. If you don't have any screws handy, that's no problem! I've also created a version with a snap hinge for the lid, eliminating the need for screws altogether.

Please be kind and offer constructive feedback - your comments and recommendations on how to improve this design are greatly appreciated.
