Photo Insert for Lid of Tudor Rose Box

thingiverse

There are two files in this set. The first is an insert for the lid of the original Tudor Rose Box. It will hold a thin photo or slip of paper approximately 1-3/8" (height) x 1-3/4" (width) in size. This was designed to fit very tight in the lid, so glue probably won't be necessary. In all the prints I've done, it simply snaps tightly into place. The only post-work necessary is to remove 2 small supports under the frame (see note below). The blank space above the frame is there to give you some room to maneuver a picture through the slot in the frame. To make it easier to remove a picture, I will often use a Post-It Bookmark stuck to the back of the picture to give me a tab to pull the picture out. To insert this piece into the lid, slide the end with blank space underneath the lock tab on the lid, and then press firmly on the center of the insert to snap it into the lid. Be careful not to put any pressure on the decorative frame so that it doesn't break. The second file is the original lid design with the addition of the photo insert frame already combined with it, so that you don't need to print the two pieces separately if you're printing a new box. PLEASE NOTE: These do not require additional support to print, although there are two manual supports beneath the open end of the frame to ensure that section doesn't droop too much while printing. These small supports need to be cut off with wire snips or utility knife, though you should only need to snip/cut them from the base, as there is normally a gap between these supports and the frame. The frame may have drooped enough to rest on them, but shouldn't be fused to them much. (I've included an example photo snipping one of the supports.)
