Box with hidden hinge

This is a small box with a hidden hinge linkage.

The hinge is within the wall of the box and not visible from the outside (or inside).

The print requires assembly and it is a little tricky but it snaps together without any glue. The hinges is printed in 20 small parts. Some extra is included.

The code in OpenSCAD is included and free to use and modify. You can change any size to create your own unique little box.

The previous box I made was https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2873641 was nice but the hinge on the back does not look that good. I tried for a long time to figure out how to create a better looking box when I stumbled upon a linkage design tool:

This helped me to create the linkage used in this box. A few test prints and modifications later and I got the result above.

Have fun.
