Clamshell Box - 20+ Variants - 33gr Filament

After trying Nick's clamshell parts box and taking a look at Josh's parts box, I decided to create my own. There are things I like with those boxes and things I wanted to improve upon. I designed a box from scratch, kept the main dimensions of the standard box the same (70×70×25mm). However, this box is designed to be more general use. There are currently 20+ box variants (there is even a pencil case variant). I'll be adding more based on feedback and requests.

Boost MeI've shared the Onshape link below so that you can edit the model. The only reason this model has a standard license is that Makerworld-exclusive models are required to have it.

Features:

• This box offers a different latch mechanism which holds the lid much more strongly while being easier to open. It opens from the front. When you push the bottom of the box (which happens naturally when you try to open it), the latch cutout is pressed back which disengages the latch. That's why I was able to implement a much tighter latch.
• Uses a print-in-place hinge that is designed to work even if your printer's accuracy isn't perfect.
• It uses a rounded design instead of an angular design (which I don't like very much personally). It doesn't have any sharp edges like others.
• It uses 33 grams of filament (like others) while offering 12% more internal usable volume (bottom part of the box). Prints in 52.5 minutes on my Bambu Lab A1 (45 minutes if you skip flow calibration and bed leveling)
• It has a carefully parameterized Onshape project which makes it incredibly easy to create new versions.
• Most of the versions have a slot for a 50×15mm label.
• There are 4 feet at the back, allowing the box to stand on its backside as well.

Here are just some of the variants (check the "All Boxes" profile to see all of them):
