Print-in-Place Hinged Utility Box

🧰 Print-in-Place Hinged Utility Box

(Print testers wanted! Please report back on clasp strength. If it feels too loose, I'll release an updated version with a reinforced latch.)

This is a fully print-in-place hinged box with an integrated clasp — no assembly, and no extra hardware required.

The hinge prints already functional, and the front clasp is designed to slightly bite into the bottom half, providing a secure closure while still being easy to open by hand.

Designed with clean lines and subtle surface detail, this box works equally well for daily use or as a base for customization.

🔒 Integrated Features

✔ Print-in-place hinge (no pins or inserts)

🧩 Customization Friendly

The flat lid surface is intentionally left simple so users can:

Modify proportions for other use cases

This model is a solid starting point for remixes and personal adaptations.
