The Operator Box (Patreon)

Howdy, wonderful people!
I was clearly channelling my favourite science fiction design tropes while I put this one together!  It's all fins, slabs and mesh with oversized moving parts for a super-industrial style.  Think spaceship access panels and service ducts, supply crates and emergency escape kits...

The box prints front-down, with the lid and body already assembled via that big hinge at the back (which is on top when oriented for printing).  Printing sideways like this has some nice consequences, like the arbitrary shaping of both the lid and base, which means this box is stackable.
Now, the ring part is separate and essentially optional, but a) it secures the box close nice and firmly, and b) it looks much cooler with it, so you should print that too.  I did have an earlier prototype with a rotating latch on the inside - I'll put some photos up at the end of the month!  It was okay, but not nearly as cool or effective as the screw closure.

Printing details
This is a fairly big print, but the it's designed for straightforward printing.  No support needed, and the box itself prints assembled.  The ring part prints separately.  You'll want your first layer to look nice, since that'll be the front of the box :)
* Box prints front-down, so the threaded part is against the bed.
* Ring prints back-down, with the narrow end upwards.

Dimensions
Height 140mm (so, 140mm long in print orientation)
Width 117mm
Depth 105mm (so, 105mm tall in print orientation) 
File location
You'll find this one on dropbox under 821 Operator Box
Final thoughts
I really love the way that textures can be suggestive of other materials, like the grille pattern here. And, I just like textures in general :)
Have fun!
