Yomamma's Japanese Puzzle Box is based on the style of a Japanese puzzle box. It has two hidden chambers where most only have 1. Different panels move... up and down to eventually allow the top to be removed, exposing the chamber inside. This puzzle box has a second chamber containing a pull out drawer that can only be accessed after the first chamber has been exposed.
The box has been designed to fairly tight tolerances so all parts need to be thoroughly cleaned prior to assembling the box. All flat sides should be lightly sanded or shaved with a razor knife to make sure no extra plastic is left from the brim.
The box can be snapped together for fitting purposes, but should ultimately be glued. You will want to snap the box together and test fit many of the pieces and check the clearances on moving parts prior to cementing in place.
Yomamma's Japanese Puzzle Box is comprised of 16 STL files and a total of 23 pieces.
Several pieces are labeled with a 1 or a 2. Each end of the puzzle box is unique, and pieces with the same ending number should be placed on the same end of the puzzle box. The determination of which end is 1 and which is 2 is not required until you have constructed the initial box frame.
You must print this at .1 mm height or you may have problems with some of the tolerances
If you want to see the box in action, at the end
of the video is a clip of the box being opened.
