prusaprinters

<p>Inspired by doors or ships and submarines to keep water out. Instead for a small box for your trinkets or just to look at. It works by spinning the wheel counter clockwise will open the box and clockwise will close the box very simple idea but super cool to print.</p> <p>You Need to print the Blade STL twice and the XL box is only about 1 cm taller doesn't sound like a lot but it just fits some things better.</p> <p>Ive also included a "Test Housing" that is cool if you only want the mechanism and you don't care about storing anything in the box, this is what i used to prototype the lid and get it working smoothly.</p> <p>Assembly:</p> <p>This can be a bit tricky but should be straightforward.</p> <ol> <li><p>First, take some 1.75mm filament and cut two pieces off and stick them into the holes in the two blades.</p> </li> <li><p>Next, place the blades on the Lid Body and attach the spindle making sure the two pieces of filament are sticking out of the tracks.</p> </li> <li><p>Last screw the Outer Wheel onto the spindle.</p> <p>It should be finished now just make sure to put the lid on the box in the correct way. :)</p> </li> </ol> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Its a pretty strait forward print and infill can be as little as you like, just as long the two blades are solid.</p>
