Complete 3D printed Gift Box, Etui

thingiverse

This is a simple 11,5 x 3,5 cm box or etui for whatever fits in. I designed this to be a wrap for a giveaway, it comes complete with hinges and a bit of decor on top. The "print ready" stl contains some additional parts that help to keep things on build plate. After print, the hinges may need a little sanding since the gap between top and bottom hinges is quite on the edge. The needle should fit into pretty smooth. The whole thing is printed in PLA, 0.2mm Layer. Will need a tiny upscale for ABS. Enjoy and dont forget to like, collect or whatever :) Post-Printing PLA issues For some reasons my PLA seems to undergo tiny structural changes after being sanded and parts joined. In effect box bottom and lid do not fit exactly as they are meant to. Sanding the hinges and joining the parts immediately after the print, then fixing the box with some rubber bands and leaving it alone for a couple of days seems to fix the issue.
