Overcurve Box!
Added 2020-01-21 10:23:40 +0000 UTCSo, you may ask, how does this one work? Yet another idea that took a while from concept to fruition, the lid on this one moves in two ways! Let's look at it when it's closed:
So, the lid swings around that triangular point, and also slides up and down. That's the reason for the curved lid, actually - it means the box can be wider, but the lid can still swing over the top. I played with some alternatives, including much longer triangular arms, but this felt the most elegant in the end.
And yep, this one's print-in-place, too. The astute will have noticed that when the box is open, the outer edge of the lid is in contact with the ground, and that's how it prints.
Creative Printer tier supporters will find this one on dropbox already, under, you guessed it, "Overcurve Box" :D
I'll pop a quick video of the box in action on Instagram, too!
Enjoy!
xoxo
