Rolling Box (with lithophanes!)

thingiverse

Merry Christmas to everyone! The Back Story I quit smoking pot around five years ago. I got into 3D printing about a year ago. When I started 3D printing, I was frustrated that I no longer needed a rolling box. I would have designed the perfect box in the world! No balsa wood, no 90-degree angles for weed to get stuck in, and no harsh corners. Smooth plastic with nice flowing, filleted edges, and a light would be perfect. Anyway, I started smoking pot again about a week ago, and this is the result. I did the entire project while stoned off my head! The Important Stuff I used some magnets that I had lying around. They were 1.5mm in diameter and 1.5mm thick, so you'll need those. I used a four-part metal crystal collector grinder with the collector removed. You'll need one of those, something like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Part-Aluminium-Grinder-Crystal-Catcher/dp/B008RLHB1K The lights I used were some battery-powered fairy Christmas lights. They seemed like the easiest option and were just lying around doing nothing, so you'll need some of those too or wire up your own LEDs. I'm not sure what screws I used to put it together, but they were just lying around the house, so I made the box around them. You should be able to find some that fit. The lithophane pictures I used are hilarious. I just made them in Photoshop as I was browsing Facebook. I put stuff on there that made me laugh and reminded me to stay funny and profound. If you don't like it, I've included a Blender file of the blank lid so you can put your own pictures on there, along with a handy step-by-step tutorial video on how to do it if you need help. It's really easy to do, much easier than I make it seem in the video! Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VPQmNIftkg&t=3s Layer Heights Unfortunately, due to the lid being a lithophane, the higher the resolution the better. That's going to be a long print job! The rest of the box prints at .25mm layer heights and whatever infill you like. The more infill the better! I did 50%. Print at .25 because I thought I was being clever, and I indented every other layer to make it look like pages in a book. Don't worry; there's no wobble. That's all I think. I hope you like it and have a very Merry Christmas.
