Puzzle Box 2 colors

thingiverse

This is a remix from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3221290/ I really liked the "puzzle Secret Box" by faisca2000 because it is so simple, yet difficult relative to its simplicity. Unfornately that STL file could not be printed in 2-colors. I did not get a reply asking for separate STL, so I made my own based on that design. It looks very similar but there are quite a few small differences. The gap between the strap and the body is intentional to hide the seams as well as to make the puzzle solution seem more complicated. The strap extending into the body may seem crazy, but that was done to reduce color filament transitions to optimize 2-color printing. It also allows for printing the parts in separate colors with a 1-color printer. If printing in only 1 color, both strap and the box should be printed together. Be sure not to change positions, of course. There are place holders for magnets. Magnets are not required, but it helps to keep the tray closed properly until the solution is reached. Wood filaments with light and dark colors look great. I made several and unfortunately I ran out of those filaments by the time I took these pictures. The source design file is included so you can make changes. It is mostly table-driven, so change should be easy. Please post your design file likewise if you make a change. I am still a novice and would love to learn a better way.
