Treasure Chest Puzzle Box - Update!

This update to the Treasure Chest Puzzle Box is easier to print, assemble, and remix!

Printing

• All parts can be printed without supports.
• Use a brim if you have bed adhesion or curling issues.
• Print the Axle with at least 50% infill. The weight is necessary for it to function.
• Print two copies of the end pieces - one for each side of the chest.

Assembly

• See video for detailed assembly.
• Test fit parts before gluing.
• If slats do not slide smoothly, sanding the sides down slightly may help. Silicone lubricant like Super Lube can also help.
• To avoid accidentally gluing parts that are supposed to move, only apply glue to the bottom frame when closing up the box.

Styles

• Cube
• Diamond
• Honeycomb
• Inset
• Line
• Plain
• Rib
• Slat
• Template (Great for making remixes)

Options

Heavy Axle
Slightly longer to print, but more mass to help it react reliably to puzzle rotation.
