Secret Butterfly Box - broken panel fix

thingiverse

After successfully printing and assembling the "Secret Butterfly Box", thinking it was all dry after 30 minutes, the bottom right slide panel locked up. I tried to free it and the top separated and tore away, from the dove tail in the slide. Uggggggghhhhhhhh! I figured out a way to fix it, and be able to assemble it AFTER the box has been glued together. The dove tail slide is split in two pieces. And the top tiled piece attaches to pins and holes to the dove tail slide piece. This concept could also be used for other components if you accidentally glue too much. Enjoy! Make sure all parts fit and have correct orientation, before gluing. Especially the pin and holes. Slide the larger tile as far as possible out of the way to the right (looking at the box) Insert one half of dove tail slide. Insert second dovetail slide, at angle into its place. I used super glue gel and carefully ran a bead along the dove tail seam in middle, on the top, stopping short of the ends (so you don't accidentally glue the end to the side). I put a little glue in the holes of top piece, aligned and inserted pins into holes of top piece. Make sure it slides free and let completely dry with part not touching either end.
