PokeBox PokeBall

PokeBox PokeBall V2

Hi everyone!

This model is my introduction to making mechanisms in 3D printing. Feel free to give feedback on ways to improve in both the building procedure or design :)

One of my main goals for this project is to make it as modular as possible to reduce plastic waste if any of the parts need to be replaced. The model is glue free, but the hinge pin is better to be super glued to the box base hook for the lid to not easily come off when opening and closing.

I still have some ideas to improve the design further so stay tuned!

Additional information:

• Clearances adapted to 0.2mm layer height and to the original size of the box
• I would not recommend simply scaling up or down the model too much as the fittings will get either too tight or too loose

Process is the same for all models (you can find all explosion views in the documentation section)

To Improve

Nothing! At least for now 😄!
