Prank Box/Glitter Bomb

thingiverse

Prank your friends with a surprise attack! Catch them off guard and unleash chaos on your sworn enemies. Outwit and outmaneuver your foes, making them pay for their mischief. This box can be printed using the automatically generated supports in your chosen slicer. To ensure proper printing of the holes for the joint, print the flaps upright with a skirt to maintain adhesion to the print surface. Print the main box part on its side so that the holes where paper clips will be inserted are perpendicular to the print surface. Remove the large overhang by slicing the box at the portion where the overhang begins and printing it somewhere else directly on the tray. The flaps can be connected to the body of the box using just paper clips, bending them over for extra security. The holes may be too small, requiring elbow grease or enlarged holes for proper connection. Load the box by pushing down the middle part and inserting paper clips through each hole on one side, out of the hole directly across from each respective one. From there, add whatever projectiles you like (glitter adds a twist). Close down the flaps and apply the binding part to hold both flaps down. The closing of the flaps will remove tension on the paperclips initially holding it down, allowing them to be removed. Warning: the band that keeps two flaps down will fly off when triggered. Do not aim at people or animals! Use adhesive to join the parts within the box. Unfortunately, PLA does not have the right physical properties to be printed into a strong enough spring, so you can use these springs instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VDRF25C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Happy pranking!
