LiftLid Card Box

A custom card box that lifts up when the lid is opened

Printing

This model requires some parts to be printed with support.

Print the outer casing flat, with tree supports to hold up the 5 connector pieces and the actual card case is best printed with the gear rack facing up, to keep the gear meshing as smooth as possible.

Assembly

Print one of each piece, Outer case, 2 gears, inner case, lid and cover (forgot to include in image)

To assemble, slide the inner box inside the outer case, with the rack facing the area for the gears.

Slide on the lid onto the pole for the gear.

Place the smaller gear first, then place the final larger gear connecting the lid to the inner box, adjust the initial height of the inner card box when the lid is in the closed position, so that it pops up as much as possible with opening the lid.

Cover the box with the outer cover, snapping it into place with the 5 pegs and 2 cylinder points.

Done!
