Lock Box

Lock Box

(don't forget the code)

🔧 Purpose:

This is a rugged box with a combination lock attached to it. It can be used to store your prized good and keep them from your siblings/roommates. While the box isn't as strong as non printed lock box, it can still be a great deterrence. Take it to the beach or a pool and people will thing twice before taking your stuff.

🧠 About:

At first i just wanted to make a normal lock but then i realized that i didn't know what to use tit for. Then i realized that 3d printers are great for printing containers so why not add a lock to one.  My lock box has a 3 digit coronation lock with 9 choices for each digit. That makes for over 700 different combinations. The box was designed to be fully 3d printed but you can add some more non printed parts to make it better. Finally the box is made to be disassembled only when opened so you can change the combination. None of the lock mechanism can be tinkered with from the outside. 

How to Use:

1. Spin each wheel till your code lines up in the center
2. Push the knob towed the center
3. Pull the lid up
4. Spin each wheel till your code lines up in the center
5. Close the lid
6. Scramble the code

🧲 Non 3D Printed Parts(Optional):

5x30mm D5 Stainless Steel Dowel Pins x4

0.5x5x20mm Compression Spring

🛠️ Tools:

• Super Glue (optional)

🖨️ Printing:

• you can use PLA but PETG or ABS will be stronger
• Dry filament has better tolerances
• print Profile has all settings pre applied
• .24 layer Hight
• 15% infill
• 2 walls More walls will be stronger
• Auto tree support
• Use a raft or brim if needed
• Spice your print up with Fuzzy Skin 

📐 Tolerances:

There are many things that cause tighter tolerances. Printer calibration, wet filament, and many others are examples. If you are having problems with tolerances please scale the part before leaving a Comment. If you still have problems leave a Comment with witch part doesn't fit.

🧩 Pre-Assembly:

• Support removal.
  Carefully remove all supports. None of the supports are difficult to remove.
