Neon Skullbox Variants and Updates!
Added 2023-05-07 16:32:28 +0000 UTCHowdy, wonderful people!
The Neon Skullbox had a bunch of requests, and so there are a few variations now! All these are already up on Dropbox, and people on the Discord server probably already know about them :)
Tiny Skulls!
Okay, first thing, since it's in the photo above - tiny versions of the skull design! A few people printed very tiny versions of the actual box, so I did up this tiny, solid 16mm version just for fun. There's even a multimaterial version!
Magnet Version and Articulated Divider
On more practical aspects, there's now a version of the Neon Skullbox and lid that incorporate magnets to hold the lid in place. There are two magnets placed on diagonal corners. The lid has been restyled a little to allow the magnets to fit neatly where they need to be.
However, there was a problem with the magnets! The addition of the magnet in the box itself blocked the insertion of the divider! Rather than move the magnets I took the more fun option of creating an articulated divider that can roll into the guide slot thanks to a multitude of hinges.
Embiggened Version (1.4 scale)
There's now a big skull! 1.4x scale, which is substantially larger and requires much more time and material to print. The wire channel has been retained at 2.3mm, but naturally more wire is required!
Piggy Bank Lid
There's now a version of the lid that has a slot for piggy bank facilitation.
The slot is oriented so that if the magnets are in use the slot runs parallel to the internal divider rather than perpendicular to it.

Comments
That's a good question! I haven't measured it myself, but someone in the discord channel suggested five metres was enough. There is of course also the option of running two different coloured strands and meeting in the middle - that looked very cool when someone did it with the regular sized one.
