"Life Saver" threaded box \ headphones container

 

***This project uses custom supports please read the instructions below! This model will not thread together until that custom support is removed***

You know how it feels when you get to work or school and forget your headphones? My daughter wanted a little box to put school stuff and headphones in in the style of a giant life-saver. Yes, I know the candy is “Life Savers". The “S” is left off on purpose. If you put corded headphones in this model make sure you put them on the male thread side of the box and not the female side or the cord may get caught in the thread. This model can be scaled up a lot of desired, but making it smaller may result in weak threads.

 

Boost MeBoosts are highly appreciated!

Instructions:

 

1. Break the custom support at the center hole one the male side by squeezing it at the end and it should break loose. (see images)
2. When you remove the outer supports, you can use a flat head screwdriver to remove any support interface material left behind.
3. With the custom support removed the halves should thread together, however they will thread together very smoothly if you rub a bar of soap on the threads.

 

-It's probably a bad idea to print this one with silk filament, but PLA,PLA+, PETG, ASA and ABS should work fine.

-Note: It will tell you there are non-manifold edges in the model, do not repair these it will print fine as is. Repairing the non-manifold edges will cause the custom support not to break away correctly.
