Printing

• All parts can be printed without supports.
• Print the base clips with two perimeters and zero infill so they can easily flex.
• Print the spring with enough perimeters that the spring arm is entirely solid.
• Add brims to prevent curling. All parts must print flat to fit correctly.
• Avoid silk or matte filaments on the mechanical parts on this design. These tend to be more brittle than regular filaments.

Assembly

See the video above for assembly.

Optional Assembly

• Add 6x3mm magnets to the topper and lid for slightly more snap in the puzzle mechanism
• Use glue or 6-8mm M3 bolts to secure the spring to the box lid

Dimensions

• Interior: 90 x 90 x 67mm
• Photo: 87 x 55mm
• Maximum height for HueForge panels (on edge of print): 0.9mm
