Secret Butterfly Box

##Secret Butterfly Box This is a secret puzzle box. There's a hidden way to open it, but you'll need to find the secret key first. Then, locate the keyhole and good luck will be on your side! This is a remix of the original Korean Secret Box I created. If you want to know its history or download the STL files, just check out this link: https://pinshape.com/items/43755 If you'd like to show some support for my work, here's my affiliate link to Solutech Ultra PLA Filament used to make the box in the video. Your help will be greatly appreciated! You can also print the box using Ulta Blue and it looks amazing! 7/22/18 - I added a blank top and title assembly for all you butterfly haters. _______________________________________________________________ ##Printing Instructions: If you print in the orientations provided, supports won't be needed for any of the parts. Just use a brim on the key to keep it stable while printing. There are two versions of the drawer - one with a small handle and one that uses a spring. I printed all the parts out of PLA except the spring which was printed out of ABS. The spring is one shell thickness, so make sure you have thin walls selected in your slicer. PETG might work for the spring too, but I haven't tried it yet. You'll also need a .4mm nozzle or smaller to print the parts with the details of the butterflies. If your nozzle width is too wide, you'll miss some of the butterfly details. ##Assembly: After you've printed all the parts, check out this link for a video containing the assembly instructions. Besides the printed parts, you'll need one piece of 1.75mm filament 5 inches long, a standard pen spring, and some super glue. The assembly is very easy - just make sure you have all the parts in place before applying the glue. Demonstration video: https://youtu.be/hrmvgV9LExE Assembly video: https://youtu.be/ze1X3e2B44o
