Cube Puzzle Road Case
Description
I wanted a road case to keep the puzzle together and safe and to let me get at it quickly. For the two-piece, just print Cube Puzzle Road Case Bottom Self-Hinged.stl and Cube Puzzle Road Case Top Self-Hinged.stl. For the 3-piece version, print latch.stl, lid.stl, and box.stl The cube puzzle and sleeve is not included in this project. The first one I made was straight from [bento3d.design](https://bento3d.design). If you like that one, you can simply go to [bento3d.design](https://bento3d.design) and build it yourself with the dimensions 33 mm cubed, then throw out the inner box, because it isn't needed, especially if you printed the sleeve included at mathgrrl's page. I've included that version, which consists of three files (box, latch, and lid). If you build the 3-part version, I'd strongly recommend using pieces of 1.75 mm PLA filament for the hardware as suggested in the comment by UltramaticOrange at [3D Printing Nerd's Youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBfD-cQYJxc) about [bento3d.design](https://bento3d.design). After I made the first one, I decided that I'd rather have one that consisted of 2 pieces with no added parts. To print those you just need Cube Puzzle Road Case Bottom Self-Hinged and Cube Puzzle Road Case top Self-Hinged. I've glued a thin square piece of styrofoam to the underside of the top to keep the puzzle nice and snug in the case. If the two-piece version is a little too difficult to close and release right off the printer, then shave or sand off a little of the tip of the bottom's tongue until it snaps shut and releases to your preference. Release by getting a finger tip underneath a little, then open as if peeling a banana. I'm including profiles for both versions, one for PLA and one for ABS. You probably don't want to try ABS unless you have the heatable print plate and an enclosed printer.
