Magnetic PokeBox

cults3d

My son wanted a PokeBox that works with magnets and is an intermediate size between this one and that other. It was the perfect opportunity to work on "bodies" and "parts" concepts in FreeCAD and try out the ShapeBinder feature, which is useful for parametric assemblies. Print You can find some tips on how to put each part together by looking at the pictures. I just wanted to illustrate this process, as nobody would actually make a PokeBox with only one or two colors (if you do, please share your creation!). Assembly To assemble the PokeBox, you will need: - cyanoacrylate glue - 4x 3mm diameter neodymium magnets (max height: 3mm; I used 2mm high ones) Depending on your settings, you may want to make sure that the round black parts holding the button fit properly with the red and white parts before gluing. The other dimensions should fit perfectly. Please be careful when gluing the interface between the black parts and the red and white hinges part, as it's essential for a sturdy assembly. Then, use a 1.75 filament bit to deal with the hinge after making some adjustments using hex keys. To ensure a proper lock, just use a metallic part and heat source to melt it in place. And there you have it! A middle-sized PokeBox that is sure to delight kids of all ages. Remixes I've added the original FreeCAD file for anyone who wants to fine-tune certain aspects or assemblies, or add some logos or a kid's name to make it even more special.
