Treasure Chest Kit-Card (pirate chest puzzle box)

Treasures come in many sizes and variations - and this one is flat-packed! Enjoy the assembly of a small treasure chest - or give it as a gift for pirate-movie-fans.

It is all printed - nothing else is needed - just print 1 card and go!

Overview

It comes in different versions for you to print:

• 1 color (the fastest to print!)
• 2 colors (for details to show more clearly - my favorite)

Assembly

Assembly requires multiple steps. Here is my prefered order:

Cut out all elements from the card

Press a box back into one of the box ends

Press the bottom into the box end

Press the box front into the box end

Press the other box end onto the 3 pieces

Celebrate that the bottom part is done 🎉

Bend the lid top to a curve that matches the lid ends

• Tip: Be sure to bend all sections to get as smooth a lid as possible - take one small section at a time.

Press the lid top into a lid end

• Tip: There are 5 small tabs to insert - be careful not to break them. I insert the top tab first, and then continue with the lower tabs until everything is fitted - before pressing into hard!

Press the other lid end on the lid top as above

Celebrate that you completed the treasure chest by putting the lid on the chest! 🎉

If any of the items is a little too loose, maybe some glue could help.

If anything is too tight, maybe sand/scrape the edges instead of pressing too hard at first.

Print instructions

Here is a few suggestions:

• Speed: Low 1. layer speed (maybe below 50% of normal - just the first layer to ensure bed adhession with all the small lines)
• Orientation: The cards should be oriented correctly
• Brim: No. Would take a long time to clean the model..

Happy printing!
