Gift Box #12 (Patreon)

The first puzzle present of the year is done! This is the twelfth version in a series gift boxes that may all look the same on the outside but they each have a secret way of opening.  I really like this one, its the first time I have incorporated a torsion spring.  Its does not make for a great puzzle but the mechanism is pretty neat.  The next one will make for a better puzzle.

Its roughly 100mm x 100m x 80mm tall. The top prints in place as one part, none of the parts require supports, designed for a .4mm nozzle. The bow and ribbons are printed separately and glued on. I printed all the parts in the orientation the stl’s are provided in. I prefer the vertical orientation for the ribbons for a smoother surface finish.  I added helper pads to them to keep them stable during printing. I printed everything at .2 layer heights but the box could definitely be printed at a larger layer height without issue.

If you don't want to glue the bows on, there is a print-in-place version and a Multi-color version will be done soon.  If you have not seen the other versions, make sure you check them out, they are all here.
