Gift Box #17

Added 2024-11-30 01:51:37 +0000 UTC

This box is a mashup between box #1 and #12. When you turn the bow on this box it rotates a gear pinion which moves in four gear racks retracting catches allowing the top of the box to be removed.

Printing
Its roughly 100mm x 100m x 80mm tall. The top prints in place as one part with no supports, designed for a .4mm nozzle. The bow and ribbons for the top are printed separately and are glued on. I used Starbond Medium CA(aff) glue. I printed all the parts in the orientation the stl’s are provided in. Use helper discs or a brim to them to keep the ribbons stable during printing. I printed everything at .2 layer heights but the box could definitely be printed at a larger layer height without issue.

Thanks to Jamg HE for being the filament sponsor by providing their PLA+ for this years gift boxes. I used their green, blue and white for this box. You can get an additional 10% off with coupon code: ICEDC0611. Its a good deal for PLA+ when multiple spools are purchased.
