Print instructions

Print in PLA using the 3mf file provided; otherwise :

• 10% rectilinear infill
• perimeters = 2

This print is designed to be printed in multiple colors with filament switching - use two to four colors (there are three filament switches). I used:

• gray for box
• red for lid cut-out text background
• gray for box again (and inside raised text)
• black for top of 42

Allow the print to cool completely before bending the hinges. When first moving the lid on the finished box, bend the hinge slowly and carefully (supporting the top of the hinges with your fingertips helps) until they break loose and rotate freely.

The first printed layer is hard to get perfectly right - very good bed adhesion is required.
