This is inspired by the “Annoying Gift Box” that most people (including my wife) have seen on TikTok.&nbsp;The size of the original is quite small, and the 3 different versions of it didn't give me exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a large internal volume (4"x4"x4"), and I wanted this to look like a Christmas present with zero visible screws. So obviously I spent far too much time modeling this up and figured that I would share it for free instead of charge people for it :)&nbsp;3 BoxesRibbon & Bow120 total screws&nbsp;You do need a few dabs of CA glue to hold the inner box posts in place. :) You can add glue for the white threaded part as well but it works without it&nbsp;Thanks for viewing, and take a look at my other models for things that I have designed for myself because the originals weren't exactly what I was desiring&nbsp;EDIT: I have also designed a bin with magnetic slide lid for storing the multitude of screws. 3 partitions to separate by color :)<a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/82815#profileId-88321" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/82815#profileId-88321</a>

This is a great devide to go on your light switch cover to keep a certain light on/off. Especially useful around children or with switches that should not be messed with. Light can still be changed by flexing the tab out of the way. Print in PLA for flexibility

Accessorize the light switches at your home or office with this intriguing mechanism that utilizes a planetary gear! <figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/user/3485677045/draft/2023-09-26_ry94myxyz3wf.gif"></figure><figure class="image"></figure>All parts can be 3D printed (no supports are required), and the design is fully snap together - so no glue is needed. I printed the five gears as a unit (using the attached “Planetary Gears.stl” file), which shows their proper orientation for assembly. But, if you'd rather print the gears independently (or are worried that a roughly .2 mm gap tolerance between the gears may cause an issue on your printer), then an individual STL is provided for each gear as well.&nbsp;I designed this model from scratch, but I want to call out “Engineer Dog” who showed off a <a target="_blank" href="https://engineerdog.com/store/gear-light-switch-cover/" rel="nofollow noopener">similar idea</a> several years ago. Some notes on assembly follow:<h4>Step #1:</h4>Place the gears on the base plate in the orientation shown below, and note that the “planet gears” do have a right-side-up (due to the use of a double-helix gear style, which is part of what helps the entire piece hold together without needing additional brackets):<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/user/3485677045/draft/2023-09-26_lqswpeb5cgt8.jpg"></figure><h4>Step #2:</h4>Place the rocker arm over its pivot point, with the long part of the arm facing towards the bottom of the plate:<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/user/3485677045/draft/2023-09-26_vlm5e3qlpybs.jpg"></figure><h4>Step #3:</h4>Swing the rocker arm around and gently lift it over the top of the actuator peg on the sun gear:<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/user/3485677045/draft/2023-09-26_d7o0akdrr00x.jpg"></figure><h4>Step #4:</h4>Press the three gear nuts through the planetary gears until they snap into the other side of the base plate:<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/user/3485677045/draft/2023-09-26_b7c09821a7k7.jpg"></figure><h4>Step #5:</h4>Unscrew your original light switch plate cover, and then attach your new planetary gear light switch cover using the same screws from the original:<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/user/3485677045/draft/2023-09-26_ce0w4vm0kbkr.jpg"></figure>
