While I liked the original. It was in need of improvement. Mostly hinge and latch, but also some other tweaks.

***See the "Differences of the remix compared to the original" down below for changes/improvements.

This modification limits the hinge rotation to 125 degrees in order to drastically improve hinge sturdiness. This does not inhibit its function as a box in any way.

Please note I recommend these as minimum parametric values before you may need to sift through the timeline and change things. For your convenience i have 'favourited' the important parameters. 
This makes a very tiny box already.
I have not experienced any issues scaling up to 200mm in any direction.

  • len - 52

  • wid - 22mm

  • hei - 227mm

  • splitTop - Appears to work between 10% to 50% height. More than this causes breaks. It also varies based on the total internal height (hei) of the box.

  • nubbin - Added parameter to better control aggressiveness of latch hump. Set to 3mm to a more loose latch, or 4.5mm for a much tighter fit.
    Any other values are kept to the creators default. I am unsure how changing these will affect the model.
