Godwin's Secret
This is a 3D printable prop based on the plain wooden cross. It is designed to look like a humble, hand-carved religious icon, but it functions as a hidden stash.
Hidden Compartment
The cross features a functional side button. When pressed, the central part of the cross swings out to the side, exposing a custom-fitted slot. It combines a 15th-century aesthetic with a modern mechanical pop-out feature..
Suggested Material
Wood-filled PLAs. This is highly recommended so you can sand and stain the final print to look like real weathered oak or pine.
Assembly & Post-Processing
Clean-up: Carefully remove all support material. Ensure the internal tracks and the pivot point are completely clear of debris.
Dry Fit: Insert the compartment into the frame and insert the pin (without glue) to test the fit.
Mechanical Test: Check that the center swings freely and the click mechanism engages/disengages correctly.
Adjustment: If the mechanism sticks or the button is too tight, dismantle the parts and lightly sand the contact points or the pin until the movement is smooth.
Final Assembly: Once the mechanism works perfectly, secure the pin from the back side with a small drop of superglue. Be careful not to let glue seep into the moving joints.
