Dovetail Box With a Catch to Keep it Closed! No supports!
Description
This is my first thing! I wanted a box with a dovetail, but I wanted it to stay closed so the lid wouldn't slide off. To fix this, I add a small catch. When it is closed, you can press on the dovetail part of the lid to open it. It even will stop opening halfway if you want. To close it, slide the dovetail joint together on one side. When the catch reaches the box, apply slight pressure to push it up on top of the box. When the box is almost closed, press the lid down and forward and it will snap into place. Size can be adjusted down to at least 30% of the original size. Let me know if you can think of any improvements! If you want just the box and lid with no catch, I have added the file as will with the label "NO CATCH" The corners may need sanding.
