zippo bit safe

thingiverse

This is my take on 3D printing the Zippo bit safe, inspired by Laura Kampf's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBQR5wqBSXE) and her channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRix1GJvSBNDpEFY561eSzw). Through discussions with fellow makers, I realized that the original design was too light due to its plastic composition compared to solid steel. To address this issue, I incorporated a cavity into my design to accommodate lead shot. The last layer of the cavity is at 16.1mm, so I pause the print just before making the first fill. I haven't printed this design yet as I need to source lead shot first. Ideally, it should not require any support and features a 3mm bore in the hinge. To help others modify the design according to their specific needs, I've included the original file from which I worked and my Fusion 360 file. This will be updated based on how the final product turns out once I obtain the necessary lead shot.
