20240509 update: I have a new version 2.0 of this design with a programmable combination lock in the base. Check it out at... https://than.gs/m/1060354
This 3D printable soda can replica is a fun hiding spot with a secret combination opening. Kind of a hide-in-plain-sight toy safe. Super fun for kids or those like me who are kids at heart.
The top opens only when a special sequence of actions is applied (see the attached image with instructions).
Obviously, it is not a great safe as someone can just walk away with it. But in terms of fun for those who want a hiding spot for something small, it is pretty good.
All the components of the design are assembled as shown in the image (and please watch the video too). No fasteners or adhesives are required. But I do recommend applying some lubricant as described in the video.
I also include a plain lid that does not lock. It is just a screw-on lid. If you print that make sure to use a low infill like 10 or 20%.
100% printed - no hardware, fasteners, or adhesives required.
