Since twist locks (bayonet locks) are round, they don't match square boxes that well, usually resulting in an opening quite a bit smaller than the ‘storage area’ inside, like my previous square twist-lock box. This model however tries to maximize the opening by just rounding down the corners a bit, and I'm quite happy with how that turned out. 

It opens and closes with a satisfying click due to springy elements, which are not under stress in closed state and thus shouldn't loose their clickiness due to PLA's creep. It even has some fidgeting qualities.

EDIT: Added some bigger sizes. Not tested yet, check the comments…

Printing: 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, no support.
