Apple Logo Flip-top Box

The 'Apple Flip-top Box' is a must print for every Apple fan...

This is a one piece print of an Apple logo shaped container for small things. The top / lid of the box is hinged so it flips backwards to open.

At standard scale the internal storage area measures approx. 54mm (W) x 51mm (H) x 41mm (D).. It can be scaled up but scaling down is not recommended as it will reduce clearances so moving parts may fuse together. Even at standard scale a small amount of 'wriggling' may be required to break the top / bottom free from each other so they move freely.

This is a straight forward PLA print (ABS may be a challenge due to the extreme angles used in a few areas). It should be a straight forward print for machines with a filament fan and good bridging capability.

Wall thicknesses have been kept thin to minimize filament consumption and print time. Raft is optional. Do not use any automated support as it could fuse the hinge and fill the internal storage area. To ensure it is strong use a minimum of 25% infill.

This is a very cool little storage design. Use it your self or as a gift for any Apple fan.

Tips: Tips are not expected but are appreciated as they help offset my filament costs as much as anything else. However, as I live outside the USA tips cannot be sent to me via PayPal.Me as that service is not supported in my region and this is beyond Thingverse's control. If you feel like sending a tip please use regular PayPal and send it to [email protected] and, to those who do, thanks in advance!
