Brain Teaser Puzzle Box - Designed for 3D Printers

A confusing little box, that you can't open, but you can, but you can't open it, but you can open it.

The inner box closes flush with the outer box making seem impossible to open without smashing it.

It should be pretty obvious how to open it after you print it 😉. Please don't put anything inide it until you are sure you can open it.

About

This is the classic bamboo puzzle box re-imagined for FDM printers. Features a no support, no brim design with tight tolerances that allow it slide open easily when solved.

Printing Instructions 📦

• Layer Height: 0.2mm 
• No supports!
• No brims!
• Darker filament is going to be better at hiding the gaps to make it a little tougher to solve

I don't recommend resizing it. The tolerances were made for this size only. If you are interested in a larger size, reach out to me in the comments.

Change Log

v2: 

• Increased size slightly
• Switched from snaps to pressure tabs
  • This should help with issues where the inner box was getting stuck or became unable to open

v1:

• If you are finding that the inner box is not able to slide all the way in, use one of the “Snaps” Outer Box models. This increases the tolerances for the locking mechanism. See below image for level of tolerances.
