Treasure Chest Kit-Card (compact pirate chest box set)

Treasures come in many sizes and variations - and this one is flat-packed! Enjoy the assembly of a small treasure chest - or give it as a gift for pirate-movie-fans.

It is all printed - nothing else is needed - just print 1 card and go!

Overview

It comes in different versions for you to print:

• 1 color (the fastest to print!)
• 2 colors (for details to show more clearly - my favorite)

Assembly

Assembly requires multiple steps. Here is my prefered order:

Cut out all elements from the card

Press a box back into one of the box ends

Press the bottom into the box end

Press the box front into the box end

Press the other box end onto the 3 pieces

Celebrate that the bottom part is done  

Bend the lid top to a curve that matches the lid ends

• Tip: Be sure to bend all sections to get as smooth a lid as possible - take one small section at a time.

Press the lid top into a lid end

• Tip: There are 5 small tabs to insert - be careful not to break them. I insert the top tab first, and then continue with the lower tabs until everything is fitted - before pressing into hard!

Press the other lid end on the lid top as above

Celebrate that you completed the treasure chest by putting the lid on the chest!

If any of the items is a little too loose, maybe some glue could help.

If anything is too tight, maybe sand/scrape the edges instead of pressing too hard at first.

Print instructions

Here is a few suggestions:

• Speed: Low 1. layer speed (maybe below 50% of normal - just the first layer to ensure bed adhession with all the small lines)
• Orientation: The cards should be oriented correctly
• Brim: No. Would take a long time to clean the model..

Happy printing!
