Printed in Red/Golden Silk PLA with lid and box at same time. It is très chic and looks magnifique!
It is a bit fragile for any kind of use. This is an excellent model but I have suggestions:
Make the walls thinner so the purse is lighter. My print was 327g of filament. Strength can come from slicer settings.
Reinforce the hinges with more loops from the main body. Think "piano hinge".
Inserting the 8mm snip of filament into the hinge from the side made the opening split from the angular force. Just make this a clean hole all the way through without a capture point and add a dab of glue to keep the pin in place.
The opening tab is tiny and short. It takes a nail grab to lift with it. I would eliminate it and put a small lip at layer 1 of about 2mm to use as a grab on the edge. It flows better when color change is involved and will be easier to use.
The chain attachments are also a weakness. An alternative larger loop for straps would spread the load.
Please consider these just suggestions and no a criticism of the design. I love what you have done here with the Cyberpunk purse and look forward to other designs.
