Token Box: Locked Crate

thingiverse

These tiny boxes are designed to hold gaming tokens while being able to fit in typical foam trays for transporting miniatures. They come in three sizes: 30x30x30mm, 30x30x50mm, and 30x30x70mm. The middle size should fit in a typical slot for 30mm base miniatures. The outside is intended to look like shipping crates, to allow the boxes to pull double-duty as scatter terrain. The lock marks the front of the box. The lids have small bumps that fit into small grooves in the body, to function as a rudimentary hinge/latch system. How well this works depends on your printer tolerances I suppose; some cleanup and/or sanding will likely be necessary for a good fit. Especially the curve at the back of the lid; this will most likely need a bit of sanding to allow the lid to open and close smoothly. A little bit of force will be necessary to push the lid into place to start. The lid will likely not have enough tension keeping it closed to just throw in a bag or a pocket; the boxes are intended to be transported inside foam. If the simple hinge system is not satisfactory, I have added small indentations on the sides to help drill holes through the sides and lid for using a pin as a hinge, and/or magnets as a latch. There is a bit of unsupported overhang on the sides. My printer made a little bit of a mess here, but I figured it was good enough. I recommend printing with a smaller nozzle (I used 0.4mm, smaller might be even better), and smaller layer thicknesses (I used 0.1mm), as the hinge system relies on small bumps and indents. I printed at 100% infill for a bit of added strength, it probably doesn't matter much either way.
