This is a multiple level maze puzzle box. i.e. you solve one puzzle, and find there is another, and maybe another, before you finally get to the middle and the prize.
Customise:
https://www.me.uk/puzzlebox
Multiple parts often print better (and faster overall) if printed separately rather than all together, and you can change colours for each, which is a nice touch. No support needed.
Ideal for birthday/Christmas presents like cash or lottery tickets - or even a ring!
Examples here include a lottery ticket gift box, a box for pound coins, some useful boxes (e.g. for a ring, etc), and a number of test boxes to check the clearance works on your printer. Use the link above to make a random maze with your choice of settings (of which there are many).

The example files here have been updated from time to time - see version.stl for date/time.
New Version (Christmas 2018)
The new version adds: maze inside and alternating version; text on end and side of box; helical mazes; grip on the base to make is easy to use; cleaner model with much faster render in OpenSCAD; many more controls; and, a simple web form to create mazes.
You can create a new, random, and customised Open SCAD file from

Or make it yourself - the C code is in github

The possibilities are endless! Credit to my son, James, for the idea of taking my maze boxes one step further for multiple levels - well done.
P.S. Yes, there is one small loop near the end of the maze just for fun.
