Update to my original design adding divided sections to the interior of the container. Still a fun easy print. Will still self-twist open and closed with gravity. Align the top and let go and it will close with a fun sound. To open, lift gently from the top and the bottom will twist open.

Both pieces are meant to be printed using vase mode with between a 0.8 and 1.2 mm wall width/thickness. You also need a bottom thickness of at least 1.5mm. So 5 bottom layers if you use .28 or .3 mm layer height. 

You can scale the print up easily, but you must add bottom layers in proportion to your scale amount. For instance, if you scale to 120%, you need 1.5mm * 1.2 = 1.8mm  or 6 bottom layers at .3mm. At 200% you'll need 10 layers. You need the thick base for strength and weight so the bottom will untwist on its own

 Make sure to set your slicer accordingly, and Happy Printing!
