Boom-Box

This boombox can be used as a retro boombox prop, a proper box or even both. Perfect for something like a gift for an 80s party. The top can be opened to store quite a lot inside. The handle can be used to carry the box, just like a real boombox.

The box is split up into a few parts that are easily glued together, no AMS required. There are a decent amount of important print settings, so using the .3mf file is preferred to using the original .stl files. If the .3mf file doesn't work for you, see below for detailed print settings.

The LidBase has a filament change at around layer 100, which can easily be done manually. A prime tower is not needed for this. Everything else is printed in one single color. After printing, glue the knobs and buttons to the top, aswell as the other things to the front. There are little marks on the front of the box, so it is easy to place everything perfectly aligned.

To install the LidBase to the box, use two M3x16 screws and screw them in from the side of the box with a small hex key (a normal screwdriver with a bit might not fit). For the handle, use two M3x12 screws and screw them in from the inside of the box. No heat inserts required, simply drive the screws into the material.
