Clash of Clans Gem Box and Gem

thingiverse

Hello, Thank you for your interest! Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm no artist, so it's not perfect. It was modelled from the picture in game. I decided to make this for my girlfriend as a present. When I searched first to see if anybody had already done this, I couldn't find any. I saw a few people also requesting this, so I've uploaded it for them. I may upload a revision with a hinge system to allow the lid to move. I printed this on a printrbot simple metal with PLA. Settings were 0.1mm resolution, and pretty much solid for strength. Total print time was around 18 hours including around 40 gems for show! Please enjoy this, and thank you for your time. Instructions I used the recommended standard settings for the printrbot simple metal that are listed on their website. The only thing I did was slow down the entire print process with an 80% factor in repetier. Warning: The gem was scaled down to about 0.5 in each axis to better reflect what size I believe they are. You can print them in many different sizes as the images of gems are all in different sizes to reflect the natural and random likeness of them. So you could, and should do the same. Once printed, you could glue the lid in place, as I did. Or you could design your own hinge type system to have a functional chest. I decided I didn't need it. Some tips for printing, that I found useful: With the box, I printed it 'top' side down. So that it goes largest cross sectional area to smallest. This helped reduce the support material required. However, it's really up to you. The lid I printed upside down also, I just felt it would be easier to tear the support off the outside than from the 'inside' of the lid. The final step is to let me know how it goes and have fun.
