small box with printed-in-place lid

youmagine

I was on the hunt for a compact box with a hinged lid but couldn't find what I was looking for. So, I decided to build one myself and here it is. The lid of this small box can be opened and closed due to the clever hinges that are printed right into place, leaving a 0.5mm gap. The wall thickness comes in at a sturdy 1.2mm, and I managed to print it with a precise 0.1mm layer height, which took around four hours to complete. Measuring 80 x 40 x 35mm overall, this little box is quite compact. If anyone's interested in tweaking this design, just let me know and I'll send over the Inventor files. I've since updated the design to include a second, slightly larger box that measures 120x60x50mm. Despite being a bit bigger, it still boasts a solid wall thickness of 1.2mm. As I haven't had a chance to test-print this new version yet, any feedback from someone who has would be greatly appreciated!
