Description
Feb 9 2025: Updated the model to improve the design of the rails and give it a much stronger, secure click-lock.
Convenient, compact box with sliding lid.
14cm x 14cm x 8cm in size.
Lid slides and clicks into place.
Remains securely closed when stored upright.
Place thumbs on top, press gently and slide back to open.
Shown item was printed using Overture Sandstone Rock PLA.
Smaller version of this box available here.
Printing Instructions
- Prints without supports and fits on a two A1 mini plates.
- Please make sure the parts are fully cooled before lifting them from the plate or they will deform.
- After printing, the lid might fit a bit tight depending on printer and filament performance. Slide the lid on and off the box a few times to create a good fit between the two parts. This might take some force and it's normal for small strings of plastic to separate from the lid and the box. Alternatively you can sandpaper the rails on the lid slightly to improve the fit.

General 3d Printing Tips
- Make sure your printing plate is clean! Oils from your skin can cause adhesion issues for your prints. Regularly wash your print plate with a detergent like Dawn, and avoid touching the surface when removing prints from the bed.
- If it's an option on your printer, always level the bed before each print. If you have to perform this manually, do so after every few prints. It takes a bit of time and patience, but it's a fair trade for reliable results.
- Ensure bed and nozzle temperatures are within the expected range for the material you're printing. Temperatures that are too high or too low can negatively affect the print, causing warping, malformed layers, or adhesion issues.
- Reduce your printing speed. Slower speeds are especially important for overhangs, as they give the material more time to cool as it's deposited.
