Folding Box

A box that folds in on itself for more compact storage of small parts.

The box holds itself closed with friction.

The internal dimensions for the sections is: 55mm x 55mm.
Overall size once assembled is: 65mm x 70mm x 190mm.

The hole in the hinge will fit a piece of 1.75mm filament as a hinge pin.
To keep the pin in place I melted both ends in to rivet shapes with the following steps:
- Cut the PLA a little longer than the piece so there is about 3mm overhang each side.
- Heat up a piece of flat metal with a lighter (I used the head of a nail).
- Slow press on to hinge pin until a small disk forms.

I found that this prints better vertically on my printer as it warped slightly when it was horizontal, presumably my heated bed is not a consistent temperature all over.
