A Beginner's Attempt at Crafting a Puzzle Box: A Fun but Not Too Complicated Project. It was a thingiverse model that inspired me to try my hand at creating this puzzle box, specifically https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2977908. To Build the Box, You'll Need a Small Conical Spring Like These: Amazon Product B07BNKSMYG. Here's How to Assemble the Puzzle Box: 1. Begin by Printing the Box Back and Latch, Ensuring a Smooth Fit Between Them. If the Latch Fits Too Tightly, Consider Printing a Thinner Latch Instead. 2. Next, Print the Box Base, Box Front, Drawer, Key Maze Handle, and Key Tooth. The Key Maze Handle Can Be Printed Without Support Material. 3. Attach the Box Top to the Box Back with the Latch in Place and a Spring Between Them. 4. Secure the Box Base to the Rest of the Puzzle Box. 5. Glue the Box Front into Position. 6. Insert the Key Tooth into the Drawer's Shallow Space, Then Place the Drawer Inside the Box. 7. Put the Key Maze Handle Through the Hole on the Box Front, Locking the Drawer in Place. Optional: Print a Key Guard and Glue It Around the Keyhole on the Box Back to Discourage Unauthorized Use of the Key Tooth.
