Straight Razor Box

thingiverse

When I was a kid, some 35-40 years ago(!), a carpenter gave me a wooden box. It was a box that of a kind that men had used to hide their straight razors from the children, back in the days when there were no safety razors. In the late 80's the box had dried out and warped badly, so I took a picture of it and threw it out. Now it's 2016 and I have a 3D-printer, so I thought I would make one, updated for the 21st century. The fit is still a tiny bit off, but it works, and I will take a break from this project for a while because it has been long in the making, and I want to do something else for a while. :) Then, with new energy, I will tweak the final models. I found the totem model at Pinshape.com - https://pinshape.com/items/15175-3d-printed-圖騰-鑰匙扣-筆筒-totem-pencil-holder-key-chain, but as long as it hides the groove in the lid, feel free to add something else! Print Settings Printer: Zortrax m200 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.190mm Infill: Yes, the least amount possible. Notes: I printed the final model in black PETG, because it's the last spool of filament I have, otherwise it would have been much prettier. How to assemble the box This is the finished look you're going for At first, glue together the "wedge_1.stl" and the "totem.stl", making sure that the narrow part of the wedge is glued onto the totem. Set aside to harden. Put the lower lid "llid.stl" on top of the box, making sure that the locking feature is engaged Add the upper lid "ulid.stl", fixing it in place with a screw, and then try to fit "wedge_2.stl" through the hole in the upper lid Regarding screws and the fit of "wedge_2.stl" I don't really like the screw, but a printed vertical pin with a diameter of 4 mm is very fragile. So for now I recommend a wood screw, and when it is in place, put a drop of epoxy glue on top of its head to stop easy access to the box's contents. If the blocking wedge is too thick to fit through the hole easily, sand it down half a mm. Now, slide the totem onto the groove in the lower lid, all the way in, then slide the upper lid in place, slide the totem into place, locking the box, and you are done!
