**There Will Be No More Updates To This Page. [Go To The New Github Page](Https://Github.Com/Drlex0/Print3D-Hinged-Locked-Treasure-Chest) For The Latest Updates.** My Godson Has Some Kind Of Obsession With Collecting Small Things In Small Chests, And He Wanted A Chest With A Working Lock. So, For His Next Birthday I Took Athey'S [Small Hinged Treasure Chest](Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:27635) And Designed A Lock Mechanism For It. Of Course It Is The Most Basic Lock Possible With Only One Possible Key And Picking It Is Trivial, But It Is Functional. I Also Spiffed Up The Overall Looks Of The Chest With Extra Details Like The Excellent Wood Texture From The [Openforge Wooden Floors](Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1585586) By Devonjones. The Hinge Has Been Made Slightly Beefier To Reduce The Risk Of It Breaking. To Unlock The Chest, Rotate The Key Counter-Clockwise And Open The Lid While Keeping The Key Turned. The Lock Cannot Be Left In The Open Position, Closing The Chest Automatically Locks It. [This Video](Https://Youtu.Be/Tnoxzw1Vopk) Demonstrates How The Chest Works. I Made Three Different Key Designs, Although The Skull Key Will Probably Be The Most Popular With Little (And Big) Children By Far :) Assembly Is Rather Straightforward But The Parts Must Be Printed And Mounted Accurately For The Lock To Neither Fail To Close, Nor Be Sloppy. See The Images For Instructions. On A Well-Calibrated Printer The Parts Should Only Require Minimal Post-Processing To Make Them Fit. If Your Prints Tend To Be Sloppy, Some Extra Sanding And Scraping May Be Required. See The Post-Printing Section For More Details. The Dimensions Are 76 × 46 × 57 Mm For The Bulk Of The Chest, And 76 × 51 × 58 Mm With The Hinges And Details Included. It Should Be Possible To Scale Up The Model Slightly, But You May Need To Scale Up The Latches A Tiny Bit More In Two Of The Three Dimensions To Keep Them A Tight Fit. If You Want To Print The Chest At 200% Size, Print The Models With **Size200** Prefix. These Are Already Upscaled To 200% (Meaning About 152 × 102 × 116 Mm), And Have Been Modified With Reduced Wall Thickness And Appropriate Tolerances For The Size. I Haven'T Printed This Larger Model So I Cannot Guarantee It Will Work Perfectly. Feedback Is Welcome!
