Christmas Gift Box - 50x50x50mm || Vase Mode
This little gift box is designed to print very quickly and cheaply in vase mode!
The ribbon bow is also designed to be easily and quickly printed; it prints in two layers (0.4mm height) with a pin in the middle so you can bend the ribbon into a nice bow!
Printing tips Print the box and lid in vase mode with 2-4 bottom layers! If you're slicing with Cura, set the lid's bottom layers to 1mm! and re-disable "Remove all holes" setting after turning on Spiralize mode. Otherwise the lid's bow ribbon hole won't print.
Print the bow ribbon in PETG or non-brittle (meaning no silk) PLA for hassle-free assembly... If you do want to print in silk PLA, try soaking the ribbon in hot water first and then assemble it, or use hairdryer or hot air gun.
Assembly tips To assemble the bow ribbon, bend the ends of each ribbon to the center pin and press them into the pin. Then press the pin into the hole in the lid!
Then just snap together the box halves (put something inside first of course!
