Details & print settings
A clean, ribbed little box that comes off the print bed fully assembled – the hinge already moves, no screws, no glue, no pins to insert. The front tab snaps over a small ridge with a satisfying click, and an inner rim keeps the lid perfectly aligned.

- Print-in-place hinge with 0.45 mm clearance everywhere, a flattened pin and teardrop holes so it doesn't fuse
- Snap latch with a small pull grip – closes with a click, stays shut
- No supports, no brim
- The closing motion was simulated step by step in software – nothing collides
- Great for SD cards, earrings, guitar picks, pills, screws, small gifts

SIZES (closed, W × D × H)
- S: 64 × 44 × 28 mm (inside approx. 58 × 38 × 25 mm)
- M: 90 × 60 × 36 mm (inside approx. 84 × 54 × 33 mm)
- L: 120 × 80 × 48 mm (inside approx. 114 × 74 × 45 mm)

PRINT SETTINGS
PLA · 0.2 mm · 3 walls · 15 % infill · no supports, no brim · print exactly as oriented in the file (both halves open side up). A well-tuned first layer (no elephant's foot) is important for the hinge.

AFTER PRINTING
Gently work the lid back and forth a few times until the hinge moves freely.
