Notes:

Used prusament PLA for the body and wood infill PLA for the top/lid. Printed using a 0.6mm nozzles on the Prusa mini. Orient the top piece so that the flat front is on the print bed. The model may be tiny when opened in the slicer in which case you will need to scale up by 25.4. Due to the geometric the main body can be printed at various resolutions without much consequence whereas the top may need finer resolution. Both were printed at 0.3mm

Post-Printing

Sanding and assembly

I needed to do some sanding on the top piece, but this may vary based on the quality and print settings. Version one is assembled using glue, and I am working on a v2 that will fit together without adhesive.
