Secret Storage Book - Floral Edition

The Secret Storage Book - Floral Edition is the first release in my Ornate Book series. The decorative storage container is disguised as a classic embossed book. Designed to blend naturally into a bookshelf, it hides a practical storage box inside while showcasing detailed ornamental embossing inspired by traditional leather-bound tomes.

 The model is optimized for easy 3D printing. 

• No supports required

• Print-in-place hinges

• Low infill (10%) and only two perimeters needed

• Efficient filament usage with excellent surface detail

The internal paper-look storage box prints as a separate part and is fixed into the book cover using just a couple of drops of glue.

MAGNETS:

The lid is held shut using 4 × cylindrical magnets (5mm × 3.0mm).
Magnets are glued into pre-sized recesses.

 PRINTING RECOMMENDATIONS:

• • Material: PLA

• • Layer height: 0.15 mm recommended (0.2 mm optional)

• • Perimeters: 2

• • Infill: ~10%

• • Supports: Not required

For best embossing quality, print the book standing upright.
A 5mm brim is recommended for bed adhesion.



HINGES:

The print-in place hinges are designed with 0.3 mm clearance and may fuse slightly.
After printing, gently flex the cover to release them.

 For extra durability:

• Add a 4 mm tall modifier cylinder on the hinges

• Set it to 4 perimeter layers (or 100% infill)

 Pre-made PrusaSlicer project files are included with this modifier already applied.

CUSTOM BACK TEXT:

The back cover supports custom recessed text. Add your favorite book-title directly in the slicer!

In PrusaSlicer:

• Add Text Modifier

• Set to “Cut”

• Depth: 1.2 mm

• Select the desired font and adjust size and positioning

 A ready-made text modifier is included in the .3mf files

Tip: If you plan to use the fully embossed book as a decorative desk-piece, rotate the book cover text so the text reads from top to bottom. This will ensure the text is the correct way up when the book is laying on the table.
