A simple container and display piece for the Snag The Tag Beam Me Up Watson! game. 

Hide the tag in the Barn with either the Lid or the Grass piece. The Grass piece is large enough that the UFO Geocoin can sit on it and become part of the display.

parts should not be scaled down below 90% otherwise the Tags will not fit inside.

There are two versions of the Barn with the following text

Version BMUW:

"BEAM ME UP WATSON!"

Version BMUW+STT:

"BEAM ME UP WATSON!"
"SNAG THE TAG"

The idea is the BMUW is to be used with the Grass and the BMUW+STT with the Lid but both Barns will work with both.

Details on the barn might benefit with a bit of white paint to make details pop.

A slightly complex container for Snag The Tag No More Secrets Tags to be hidden in/ Coins to be displayed.

The tag can be placed in the Bottom Insert to help protect it while hiding, The container can also hold the geocoin and act as a display piece.

M1.6 x 16mm screws/bolts are needed for the latch mechanism.

Two latches will need to be printed

There is a hidden cavity for a small magnet to be placed inside while printing. This magnet is to help keep the tag in place.

Support it needed to print the handle in place. I printed with the case ridge not touching the bed and facing up (increases the amount of filament but improves print finish)

The Lid has several pieces of text: 

"NO MORE SECRETS" 
"STT EYES ONLY"
"SNAG THE TAG"

There are also country specific codes on the lids

A Geocache that is designed to look like a printer nozzle printing a geocaching logo. The nozzle is a 7.0mm nozzle meaning the logo is 'printed' using a 7mm line width.

There are three parts to print; the logo, the nozzle and the filament going into the nozzle.

The incoming filament and nozzle have M15 threads. 

The two different input strand models have the same text "OFFICIAL GEOCACHE" but different font size.

The nozzle will need to be securely attached to the logo part with an adhesive.

The text "OFFICIAL GEOCACHE" can be found on the rear panel.

Detailed model requires 0.4mm nozzle or smaller to get details at 100% scale

Bottom was printed upside down so logo is facing up

This design is for a quick-reset blind-maze/labyrinth geocache. It uses magnet to create 'spring-loaded' locking pins. The maze design is repeated three times to share the force out onto three locking pins. All three locking pins are required to centre the maze part and to make sure the pins can't go up the reset channel, only down.

For this cache you will require the following not printed parts:

~1.5 kg Filament
6 x  M3 x 12 mm Bolts (I used Socket Caps)
6 x  N42 Neodymium Magnets, 6 mm x 1.5 mm, (I used ones that had dimples on the north pole which made it far easier to know polarity)

Magnets need to be stuck into the locking pins and magnet caps with the similar polarities opposite each other so they repel.

There is a test print section to test the tolerances before starting the main outer body.

The completed cache require the following parts to printed:
1 x Maze
1 x Outer
1 x Lid
3 x Locking Pins
3 x Magnet Caps

A simple screw-thread geocache container inspired by the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:268498">geocache (hanging micro)</a>. The container took inspiration from the geocache (hanging micro) container but was modelled from scratch.

This container is slightly larger than the container that inspired in both height and diameter. It has grips on both parts of the container and a includes tri-start thread for easy opening.

On the bottom on the container has a free-to-use geocaching logo and the text geocache.

An o-ring can be placed to aid in waterproofing.

No supports are needed. I made the loop 100% infill using modifiers to increase the strength.

This cache container is my interpretation of the Village Hall Series logo. It is large enough for a bison tube to be placed inside.

The dual colour was done by modifying the gcode in cura so the nozzle is moved out the way so filament can be changed without rushing.

This is a scaled up 'Nano Geocache' with a diameter of just under 200 mm and total height of around 200 mm. There are threads on both the lid and body.

The Lid does not screw down all the way, this is to allow an o-ring to be fitted, I modified an o ring from Amazon, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DGBF78T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1,

The Body was printed with no supports with the solid base touching the build plate.

The lid was printed with supports with the thread touching the build plate.
