Perfume Sample Box

prusaprinters

This is a small box which holds up to four perfume sample flasks (miniature spray bottles). It is small enough to be kept in a purse and to keep those pesky little bottles from sneaking away into remote nooks and crannies of the purse. The box fits miniature spray bottles of ca. 6.7cm x 1.3cm in size. If it holds fewer than four bottles, those are kept in place and don't move around inside the box. No supports or raft needed. Don't use too few upper layers (I recommend at least 3) to avoid a see-through interior (at 15% infill -- this obviously depends on your infill percentage). To assemble, stick a piece of 1.75mm filament through the hinge and melt its ends a little. I melted one end to a bead using a lighter, and the second end using a nail heated up with a lighter, but I assume you can use a soldering iron as well. The ornaments shown in the photos (bunny, bear from the Винни-Пух cartoon) are not included in the model because I don't own the copyright, but it's easy to create your own recessed ornament, for example in Tinkercad: Use Google Image search to find a nice drawing to use. Use one of the many Image-To-SVG web sites around to convert the image Import this model and the SVG into Tinkercad, and use the SVG (about 0.6mm thick) as a hole to combine with the lid. The two-colour box was made by swapping out the filament mid-print (if you're using 0.2mm layer height, that would be after 3 layers). The nice shiny filament used is Polyalchemy's Copper Elixir.

Post-Printing ============= To assemble, stick a piece of 1.75mm filament through the hinge and melt its ends a little. I melted one end to a bead using a lighter, and the second end using a nail heated up with a lighter, but I assume you can use a soldering iron as well. The hinge might be a little creaky at the beginning, but it gets looser over time. Maybe not the best box design in the world, but it works. :) Category: Containers
