First of all, a big shout-out to @JamesThePrinter. I had a lot of fun messing around with his model.Now for the changes and notes:This is a scaled down version of the original design. Its dimensions are 60*60*30 without a knob.A close attention was paid so that scaling won't mess with wall thickness or height of parts.This version is optimizes to be printed with a 0.25mm nozzle. Smaller nozzles would work as well.All fine detail vertical dimensions are divisible by 0.1mm so print it with a 0.1mm layer height.Pins in the middle linkage are now a separate entity and can be printed in a preferrable horizontal orientation.Same goes for the inner linkage. It now has a pin and a sleeve to put around the pin.Container walls are now thinner. Somewhat like in a rugged box design.The lid is mirrored. Now rotating clockwise closes the box. Feel free to change it in the slicer if you prefer it otherwise.Most of the clearances are now 0.2mm.I included a more grippy knob, but feel free to use your own.All parts are pressure fit. I didn't use any glue and it is holding together just fine. But then again, your experience may vary.Use snug supports when printing both the container and the lid.
