Chompy New Year!
🕑 Added 2020-01-04 12:23:31 +0000 UTCHappy New Year everyone! Let's start 2020 with more print-in-place fun! I give you... The Chompy Box!
Now, this thing was originally called something like "double cog box" and maybe you recognise its predecessor from the last post, but once I pulled it off the bed and flicked the lid open it was immediately the Chompy Box. Those teeth! Chomp chomp.
Opening one side of the lid will clearly open the other, too. Press down on the outer bar to open it quickly! It's worth noting that pressing the two lid sides inward won't get you very far - the cogs will jam together. This could be mitigated a bit by tightening up the tolerances, but that would make it much harder to print without parts binding together, and this is not supposed to be a torture test! 
This was another design than bounced around in my head forever before it finally became a reality, and the end product is much more fun than I anticipated at the start!
I'll be putting this up on MyMiniFactory in a few weeks as a paid download, but Creative Printer supporters will find the files in the Dropbox ready to download right now for free. Enjoy! ❤️

Hmm, maybe kicking off a discord server would be a better solution than trying to wrangle Patreon... watch this space!

Great to hear it worked well! Hmm, I'd love to have photo uploads here - let's see if I can find a way to enable such a thing...

Hey Clockspring 3D. Nice box! Printed well and worked without "coaxing." You don't allow photo uploads here?

Haha, thank you! I love your enthusiasm as always 😍... did you pick a colour? 😁

There is just so much going on in this one model, I really can't stop staring. This is pure genius. The way you tackle and overcome common 3d printing challenges and limitations, is a talent in itself and requires a tremendous amount of skill. But making your "print-in-place", "support free" models print successfully on MY printer, is just Magic.!

Lovely design. You come up with such clever designs, you almost make it look easy. Great work and great start to 2020. Now to just pick a colour...
