Description

PDF

When it's closed, it's a box. When it's open, it's out of your way.

This little novelty prints completely flat, and folds up into a little box with one clasp to hold the whole thing together. 

This version is intentionally left open, but remixed versions of this could be made to hold rings, 3d printer nozzles, SD cards, or any number of small items. 

Future revisions may include better corner seals and TPU filament gaskets for the edges.

Revisions

  • August 25, 2022 - [Latest] - Updated to revision 1d (see v1d files). Hinge gaps closed up for a better-sealed box. This also prevents the sides from over-extending, making it easier to close, and generally giving it a really solid feel. Hinges were made slightly more robust, and the clasp was slightly improved again.
     
  • August 22, 2022 - Updated to revision 1c (see v1c files). Updated clasp to be a firmer fit and easier to open.

How to Print
