Gift Box #20
Added 2024-12-21 14:07:52 +0000 UTCPulling out two sides of the bow on this box releases all four catches allowing the box top to be pulled off. The seam is hidden under the center of the bow so there are no visible clues.
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's Thick CA glue(aff). Be careful when gluing on the moving ribbons, I used their thick glue and only put it on the top of the post the ribbon glues onto.
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.
