Vortex Print-in-Place Puzzle Box
This print in place puzzle box is, in the end, not very complicated, but for most people the solution is probably not very obvious! Can you solve it?
The box bottom and lid have some tactical layer offsets, so your printer should be able to effectively bridge all overhangs. So no supports needed!

After printing, make sure all four pins are moving freely, as in they will move their full range of motion just by tilting the box 90 degrees.
To lock the box, align the front of the pins in the lid with the edge of their holding block. While keeping the lid upside down, rotate the box to the lid. Shake the box around. The box should now be locked. Now how do you open it?
There are two versions available; decorated and plain, if you want to paint and/or decorate it yourself!
