'Secret Compartment' Box

thingiverse

The 'Secret Compartment Box' is a simple storage box that conceals a hidden compartment within its base. The base features a slot through its center, allowing it to slide in and out for easy access to the concealed items. Well-designed 'Secret Compartment Boxes' should resemble ordinary storage containers with lids, giving no indication of their hidden nature. Unless you're expecting it, you won't notice that the base can be removed or that the floor inside is slightly raised, providing a discreet space to stash valuable items like money, keys, jewelry, and documents. A range of 'Secret Compartment Boxes' is available, each with varying dimensions. The standard box measures approximately 65mm x 90mm (internal) by 20mm in height, with the base installed. The concealed compartment can accommodate items up to 5mm thick. The larger L and XL boxes are 100mm x 100mm but differ in their internal and base heights. The L has an internal height of 20mm and a base compartment of 5mm, while the XL boasts an internal height of 45mm with a 10mm deep compartment (double that of the standard box). Although the bases are interchangeable, using the XL base within the L box would significantly reduce its internal space, potentially arousing suspicion. The various components can be easily printed on well-configured machines. To ensure a snug fit between the lid and box parts, apply a small amount of tension when sliding them into place. If your print is too tight or loose, adjust it uniformly to achieve an optimal fit. This 'Secret Compartment Box' serves as both a practical storage solution for everyday items and a secure hiding spot for valuable possessions. You can customize its appearance by printing it in one color or using different colors for the lid and box. It's perfect for personal use at home or work, and also makes an excellent gift for friends and family. Feel free to print this design today and share your creations with the community!
