Secret Butterfly Box
This is a remix of the Koreon Secret Box Its a secret puzzle box. There is a secret way of opening it... First you must find the hidden key... Then you must find the key hole... Good luck!!!
Print Instructions If you print in the orientations provided supports will not be required for any of the parts. I would use a brim on the key to keep it stable while printing. If you print the key with more than two shells, you are going to have a issue with curling which will cause the key to get knocked over. I print with four shells up until the key splits, then I switch to two shells. There are two versions of the drawer, one with a small handle and one that uses a spring. I printed all the parts out of PLA with the exception of the spring which was printed out of ABS. The spring is one shell thickness so make sure you have thin walls selected in your slicer. If you have fit issues its probably a result of elephants foot because your first layer is too low. Be sure to dial in your first layer before printing.
Assembly After you have all the parts printed see the link below for a video containing the assembly instructions. Besides the printed parts you will need one piece of 1.75mm filament 5 inches long, a standard pen spring, and some super glue. The assembly is very easy just make sure you have all the parts in place before you apply the glue.
