Hive game box

thingiverse

This is a replacement box for the game Hive ( http://www.gen42.com/hive ). I like the game, but I don't like the zippered carrying pouch that they include in the box. So here's my alternative. The box is large enough to hold all the pieces from the base game. Instructions Print the pieces, keeping an eye on the clearance on your build platform. It's pretty tight on the ABP, you might need to turn off outline to make it fit. That's what I did. Just extrude a bit before you start printing and it will come out fine. The top fits snugly into the box. I chose not to treat the surface, so the lid locks in really nicely. This means that I can turn the box upside down, and the lid will hold the weight of the pieces securely. This does make it a little difficult to take the lid off, though. When you process the files in SF, it might start talking about "holes in the triangular mesh" or somesuch. I don't know what this means, but the box prints really nicely anyhow. If anyone knows how to avoid this issue, let me know in the comments.
