Flex Box - A wooden box with a living hinge

thingiverse

I really like the flex box, but it lacked a little in size. So I sized it up, gave it press fitting parts and an unobtrusive snap-lock for the lid. On top of that, it was the last day at work for my colleague Siert (who will be working at Ultimaker from now on), so I made this as a gift. Unfortunately Siert himself was ill at the day of his going-away party/mourning, he will have to find out about my gift through thingiverse :) Instructions The snap-close mechanism is a little tricky. If it does not work for you, add something squishy (like felt) in between the hinge and the side, or sand off a little material. I was naughty and did not test the latest tweak I made to the hinge design, so YMMV! If it still does not work, there are still two holes in the bottom where you can thread some elastic through. If you wish to customise it with a different name logo: add an outline of around 0.2mm to the text logo that should fit in the lid to allow for the with of the laser-cut/kerf.
