Invisible lid (almost) boxes!!! (Patreon)

Hey! I had an idea yesterday, and after a quick session in my software i came out with those! Super cute box, easily scalable and 100% support free.When its closed, the lid is almost invisible, blending perfectly with the rest of the box.The inlay on each side is a simple, tappered square shape with a visible infill, which is glued on all sides (and 1 for the lid).So depending on your slicer, you can make a lot of different models depending on the infill you choose.
All files are already placed in the right orientation on the bed.
INSTRUCTIONS :-Print 1 box-Print 1 lid-Print 4x the file "INLAY"-Print 1x the file "TOP INLAY"
For the inlay, here's the setup to see your infill:-2 walls (perimeters)-between 10 and 30% of infill of your choice (can be more too but i prefer staying under 30% to have a good pattern size)-NO tops-NO bottomsOn the slice preview, you should have something like my picture.
Simple as this.
BE SURE TO RESERVE THE "TOP INLAY" FOR THE LID, AS IT IS A LITTLE BIT SMALLER THAN THE OTHERS. ;)
Print well at any layer height. The black/red box was made with a 0.3 layer height to save time.
To open the lid once in place, simply push down a bit where the tab is located and slide the lid open.If you find the lid is too hard to open/close, gently and progressively sand the tab on the lid.
Hope you like them!!! :p See you later! :p
