Summary

This is a remix of the lid for the miniature toolbox by eligreen, here: -

I loved the design, BUT the lid was a terrible fit. The indents for the 'bumps' for the hinges were the same size as the bumps, despite being offset, which made the lid a super loose fit, to the extent that it would easily fall off when opening, and the handle was very loose too.
Also I liked the photo of eligreen's print, with the little latches in a separate color, rather than the same color as the lid, so I made them separate parts that can just be glued on. If you do prefer them to be a single piece, then let me know in comments, and I can make a version that will print as one, but personally I think they look much better contrasting.

Thanks to eligreen for the original design and inspiration.

I designed the new lid from scratch (using measurements from the original as a guide) in Fusion 360. The parts should be a tight fit, and it may take some effort to snap the handle and lid covers into place, but they should fit. I printed the lid in Hatchbox Yellow, and the catches (and tray) in Fusion Filaments "Radioactive Orange" HTPLA+. (my print of the black parts was in Fusion Filaments "Ionized Cobalt Black" HTPLA+ (which has a subtle sparkle).
