Portal Companion Cube Box

Please send me feedback if you do end up printing this! I'm always looking for ways to improve :) This is a companion cube from the video game Portal, that I've designed as a box that you can store things in. Alternatively, you can print the entire cube as one piece for decoration. I've included the original SLDPRTs (with colours yay) as well as STLs and 3MFs in the zip folder for convenience. For the empty box, you need to print 2 front-back faces and 2 left-right faces, 1 bottom, and 1 lid. These are all ideally printed with the flat sides of each face on the build plate, with a brim to prevent warping (especially at larger scales). If you would like the bottom face to have the same design as the rest of the faces, simply print another lid in place of the bottom face. I joined my pieces together using gorilla glue and there was a bit of seepage, but you could use other joinery methods if you'd like. Note: The lid's support is sometimes difficult to remove, I recommend using a sharp knife and breaking it up as best you can before trying to remove it all at once. For the solid cube with the heart design on the bottom, that face may not come out so pretty, as it is being printed completely upside-down. Just a warning to use the "flat bottom" model if you dont care about that bottom face being the same as the rest since you wont see it.
