'Secret Compartment' Box

myminifactory

The 'Secret Compartment Box' is just that... a box where things are stored, plus a hidden compartment at its base. The base of the box has a slot right through its center, sliding in and out for access to what's inside. Well-designed 'Secret Compartment Boxes' will look and function like basic storage boxes with lids for small items, without anyone suspecting that it's anything more than just an ordinary box. Someone not expecting this won't notice that the base part can be removed and the floor inside the box is slightly raised to hide valuable things away. A variety of 'Secret Compartment Boxes' are available. The standard one is approximately the size of regular playing cards (65mm x 90mm internal) and 20mm in internal height with the base installed. The base compartment can hold items up to 5mm thick. The L and XL boxes, on the other hand, measure 100mm x 100mm but differ in box height and base unit height. The L has an internal height of 20mm with a base compartment height of 5mm, while the XL has an internal height of 45mm and a base compartment that's 10mm (double the height of the other boxes). The L and XL bases are interchangeable. However, using the XL base in the L box would greatly reduce the regular internal space, making it more likely to raise suspicions about the hidden compartment. The various parts can be easily printed on well-set-up machines with simple prints. The base and lid should fit snugly into the box part, requiring just a fraction of tension as they're slid into place. Not all machines and slicing apps work the same way, so if your print is tight, uniformly scale it up slightly or down uniformly if the fit is too loose. The 'Secret Compartment Box' is practical for everyday storage of small items, but also a great way to hide valuable things away. Print your box in one color or make the lid and box different colors for a brighter, more personalized look. It's great to use yourself at home or work, and it makes for a unique gift for friends and family. Print one today and post images of it so other members can see them.
