Hi, this is a simple box that holds a secret: A super slim magnetic activated lock inside to securely store your valuables. The lid won’t open unless you have the magnetic key!

Take a look:

 

The mechanism is quite simple: Magnets will attract and release the lid by bending the lock. The lock will return to its original position based on PLA flexibility and memory:

Use neodymium magnets for better performance. In this case I used a 12mm x 2.7 mm.

For the key I already had from https://www.printables.com/model/1237-magnetic-beehive-key-holder, but any reasonable strong magnet will work.

Note: No matter what magnets you use check polarity before assembly.

 

There's a cover for the lock mechanism to isolate it from the things you store.

For the hinges just use a piece of filament:

and cut the excess. Easy to replace if needed.

Total Print Time will be around 16hs.

 

Hope you can print and enjoy this model.
Comments and suggestion are more than welcomed and look forward to seeing your make published!
