Gift Box #8
This is the eighth gift box in a series that may all look the same on the outside but each have a secret way of opening.
To open this box, push down on the center of the bow. This releases all four of the spring loaded catches allowing it to open.
Printing Instructions
Its roughly 100mm x 100m x 80mm tall. The top prints in place as one part, none of the parts require supports. The bow and ribbons are printed separately and are glued on. I printed all the parts in the orientation provided. I prefer the vertical orientation for the ribbons for a smoother surface finish, and they are much stronger printed in this orientation. I added helper pads to them to keep them stable during printing. For best results, use a .4mm nozzle.
The center of the bow is trapped between the box top and the bow. For smoother action try filing away the layer lines on cam angle of the center bow with a rasp. Alternatively if you want to really loosen it up, try this PTFE(aff) spray. Its like magic, use very little. I printed all the parts in the orientation the stl’s are provided in. There is a built in helper pad for the catches, be sure to remove them before assembly.
I used Gorilla Glue (aff.) for gluing on the ribbons. Put the glue in the middle and let it naturally spread out.
If you don’t already own as set of these clamps (aff.) you should pick them up, they really help with gluing the ribbons on.
Printed on the Muldex rep-rap IDEX printer.
