Summary

So I had to make some strongish boxes for my wife to put Christmas ornaments into. I had looked in the usual places and could only find boxes with thin walls. Test printing them proved that they were not strong enough. So I went ahead and made my own with Fusion.

I am the first to admit that this box is stupidly overbuilt, however, the advantage to it is that it is scalable to smaller sizes without losing too much thickness on the bottom layer. You can basically make it any size that you want to, as long as it fits on your printer bed. Just remember that when scaling, to scale the top at the same ratio as the bottom. The box is scaled so that the lid just fits snugly. Depending on your printer's setup, it may require a little bit of sanding or filing to get the top to fit easily. Also, the top gets a little easier to put on after a few times on and off.

This is my first design, and I hope that someone out there can use it. Have fun, and if you like it, please post a make. I would love to see what you have done with it.
