Has a working lid hinge and latch, posable handlebars, feet, and optional "dentures!" Fill him with all of your lil treasures! Using Cymon's Hinged Treasure Chest as a base, I added everything else using Tinkercad, whew did that take a lot of time!
I originally made the Mimic as a Halloween present (see photos) and noticed 3 problems:
1) the feet were a bit difficult to pry off the build plate
2) the legs were a bit easy to snap off
3) the hinge was difficult to snap on
As quick fixes:
1) I created a luggageBotHollow with the feet hollowed out to reduce footprint size and make it easier to remove from the build plate. Each foot has more or less 2mm thick walls.
2) I thickened the connection between the legs and the box to make them harder to snap off.
3) I didn't fix 3. I always dislike friction-based hinges because they (eventually) wear out when printed in a soft plastic, and it is a little too difficult to snap into place in the first place. I can't be bothered to test out various tolerances to make it better though XP.
If you do print, please let me know how it turned out with the quick fixes I made. My original came out well since I was careful, but I wanted my published version to be more oops!-proof and generally better designed. I also removed the personal engraving from the inside that the original in the photos had.
