This box is designed with a distinctive woven aesthetic, making it a unique piece for storing jewelry, keepsakes, or other small treasures. Crafted to mimic the look of natural materials, it features a delicate pattern that resembles fine wicker or threads, allowing visibility into the interior and beneath the box. The box is printed fully assembled, complete with feet and a hinged lid, showcasing the intricate design and functional craftsmanship.

When setting up your print, you may notice the slicer program flagging "floating cantilever" issues and suggesting the use of support structures. However, these concerns can be safely ignored for this model, as it's designed to print successfully without additional support. For optimal results, it's recommended to reduce the speed for the inner and outer walls during the lid printing process, which helps in reducing any potential wobble as the height increases. The only other adjustment needed is to set the number of walls to 4.

This design not only highlights the capabilities of 3D printing technology but also offers a practical and attractive item for everyday use or as a gift.

Update

June 13th, 2024 - I've added a multicolor print profile version of the model that you can customize the color fairly easily. The included print profile is using two colors: gold for all the woven parts and black for everything else. But I’ve broken out the pieces so that the frame slats, the hinges and the feet can all be separate colors. In addition the woven parts can be a separate color and actually it can alternate colors between the even and odd rows. I planned on doing a version that showed two slightly different colors for the even odd parts, but I haven’t quite found the right filament for it yet. If you don’t use the included profile, make sure your slicer is set to dramatically slow down while it’s printing the lid as it gets taller, it will start to wiggle back-and-forth as it puts down the filament. The drawback is that it is so terribly wasteful of filament. It uses almost 4 times the amount of the single filament version. I almost didn't publish it because of that.
