Model Overview & Print Notes

A little book-style box with a living hinge in various sizes. The smallest one fits for SD-Cards, one is fine for credit cards, one for playing cards. The biggest one doesn't fit on my Prusa Mini. Heavily inspired by Eng. Yehia's Living hinge box , but made completely from scratch, with a more sturdy hinge and a clasp that doesn't need a magnet. I used PLA, 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle. Insert a color change in the slicer right above the cover layers for a more bookish design. I prefer the textured print bed over the smooth one, but PLA doesn't stick to Prusa's textured sheet well. I'll probably buy a satin sheet. Declaring this as mechanical marvel is a bit overstated, but living hinges are often used for rounded edges in laser-cut wood designs, and I think it has it's place in 3D-printing, too. Edit: Added more sizes: one for 3*AA and one for 3*AAA batteries. I call them the Books of Power :) Note that the 3*AAA box fits nicely into the 3*AA box :) Edit: Added a version for 2 decks of cards and one without the inner spine per request. If you need a specific size, make a comment and chances are I'll upload it.
