So a friend is doing a series of Star Trek related geocaches and asked me to make one. This is the result. Although it took about forever to get it printed. I am using ABS and had really severe warping issues. I ended up buy printing both of the larger items with a substantial brim in order to get it to stick. The cube was the worst as it has very little surface (10mm) touching the bed. It failed around 6-7 times. It failed the most when using a raft, and even using a brim I had to enclose the printer in my case with a large cardboard box. To use the box as a geocache you will need 10mm x 2mm round magnets like this https://goo.gl/jby2LB You will also want to use either rite in the rain paper or another container, bison or dna tube or a film canister, inside as it it is not water tight Print 8 of the retainers as there are 4 spots on the lid and the box for magnets. thanks to Simakrima for the great design. that was easy to print! in case you want to tinker with it here are the tinkercad links https://www.tinkercad.com/things/1h7a7ijdAmZ-copy-of-borg-cube-bottom https://www.tinkercad.com/things/1DvOzJOUNps-copy-of-borg-cube
