I wanted a print of the deckbox that didn't have as much "Play" in the hinges, so I made one with a hinge similar to a door hinge, print the two bases, and the hinge bolt, then insert the hinge.
Be aware, the bolt for the hinge does require some pressure to get into place, which is why I recommend printing the bolt with 100% infill, or make the "First Layer" 700 layers tall, this makes the bolt entirely solid, it breaks otherwise.
The entire print can be done without supports, just print the boxes on their backs, and the bolt on it's base.
I widened the holes on one side of the deckbox so I could insert rare earth magnets, you can use the regular magnets, you'll just have to lift them a bit.
