Description

Another annoying gift box! Now sized for gift cards/money!

I have another annoying gift box design that was made to fit my MTG commander deck box design.

This one is sized to fit a gift card (or cash if folded up) and has a total of 69 (nice) screws.

 

If you've seen my other gift box, this one has the same tricks in it, just a bit simplified.

  1. All of the screws use the special triangle bit instead of a regular flathead.
  2. All of the screws around the sides are reverse thread.
  3. All of the reverse thread screws have a dot on the end to easily tell which one is reverse when assembling.
  4. There are 5 captive screws split between the top and bottom ribbon pieces.

The box is separated into 4 layers.

  1. Ribbon
    1. 2 short ribbon pieces
    2. a top ribbon piece
    3. a bottom ribbon piece
    4. 40 long screws
      1. 5 of these will be captive
    5. a triangle bow/screwdriver broken into 2 pieces to print better
    6. an extra bow/screwdriver handle
    7. a bow stand
    8. 2 bow shims (to hold the stand to the box)
  2. Outer Box
    1. 2 outer box pieces
    2. 9 long screws with reversed threads
  3. Inner Box
    1. 2 inner box pieces
    2. 16 short screws
    3. 4 short screws with reversed thread (around the sides)
  4. Screw Frame
    1. a box frame
    2. a box base piece (all regular thread)
    3. a box lid (all reversed thread)
    4. 5 nuts to keep some screws captive

Assembly Instructions

 

Start with the frame
Put in the base
Add your gift card/ cash/ othe small flat gift
Put the lid on top
Put the inner box pieces around the frame

Screw in the 16 regular short screws on the top and bottom of the inner box.

Use the triangle bit for this.

I found that its easier to use the bit on its own then tighten with the handle on it.

Screw in the 4 reversed thread short screws around the sides of the inner box.

Put the outer box pieces around the inner box.

Screw in the 9 reversed thread long screws around the sides of the outer box.

 

There is one extra hole that does not have a spot to thread in. You can print an extra short screw and captive nut to turn this into a captive piece or glue in a short screw so it'll be impossible to remove.

Put on the short ribbon pieces and screw in the 12 regular long screws.
Find the top ribbon (the one with the extra slits in the middle) and add long screws where there are holes on the top of the frame (also having those slits).
Find the bottom ribbon (the one without the extra slits in the middle) and add long screws where there are holes on the bottom of the frame (also not having those slits).

Add captive nuts to the screws from the last 2 steps.

You will probably need to use the handle with the triangle bit for enough torque.

Tighten them so they do not rattle but not too tight so that it is hard to turn.

Put the top and bottom ribbons on their corresponding sides lining up the captive nuts into the holes in the frame.

Screw in the remaining 23 regular long screws.

Insert the bow shims into the 2 slots on the top.

I pushed it upside down on a table to get them in all of the way.

There should be ~2mm of plastic still above the ribbon.

Put the bow stand on top of the shims.

(The bow stand here is from an older design. The new version will not have the extra space around the shim)

Put the triangle bit into the bow stand and put the handles on both sides of the bit.

(The stand may not hold on very tight to the shims, but should be enough to keep it in place when giving the gift.)

You now have the completed annoying gift box!

I wanted to make your big one, but it cost too much filament, but this is perfect. I will update you when its finished (in about 12-15 hours) Edit: Things I like: 1. fairly easy to assemble 2. perfect size for gift cards and scratch off cards Things I dislike: 1. needs to show clearer instructions on where the screwdriver handle is, as I didn't identify it until the last step 2. captive nuts were way too tight to fit onto the screws, so I ended up breaking three and left the nuts loose 3. The bow snapped off when trying to put them together overall, I enjoy this build, but I think there can be some improvements.

I've printed plates 2,3,4 and currently working on printing plate 1. Still have no idea where the screwdriver handle is. EDIT: Unless you are just supposed to just one side of the ribbon as the handle.

Great print but my side pieces keep coming out like this. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Under the Process > Strength (tab) > Advanced > "Bridge Direction" setting, change it from 0 degrees to 45 degrees and see if that works better for you:

It is a very satisfying result. I especially like the five stripped screws, the screws that have to be turned in the opposite direction, and the box that must be opened by unscrewing everything. This is the result I made. Let's all fight

someone is going to be pissed!! The model is great! the only thing i didn't like is how sensitive the little green parts are and how tight the fit is in the other parts. i needed to print more because i broke one. Maybe u can be more generous on the tolernaces

A nice thing in itself, but the nuts are too tight and don't really screw on, and the "screwdriver" is very flimsy so it needs improvement, and the small plates for the bow almost always break when inserting them, otherwise it's really cool 👍🏻😬

I put them in before the thin ribbon piece and that seems to help.

Perfect… the assembly was a bit tricky, but it was worth it. My brother will love it 😈

Everything fits, screws have enough clearance

I made this for my brother, unfortunately he enjoyed it. No issues printing or assembling.
