Description

I modified the chpola33 thingiverse model. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3364149)
The matchbox designed for Red Roosters Pipe Matches may have different sizes from ordinary boxes.
After printing:
I sanded the box a bit and "shaded" it with the brown acrylic paint and then blew it off with a silk gloss varnish.
Then I cut the side of the matchbox into his side and slipped it. (this process is a bit tricky)

Print instructions

Add a modifier to both sides of the matchbox to set the 100% fill for those parts. (like in the picture)
For more stable printing, it is recommended that you add a one layer of small circles to the bottom. (as in the picture)

If you are unsure, use the uploaded gcode

Printed with PLA, 0.15mm layer the outer box, and 0,2mm layerheight inner box
