Twist Lock Box - Cylinder


Summary

This cylinder-shaped trick box has a hidden latch mechanism.

Customization

Toppers

Just like the original, this can be customized with different topper designs. Any topper created for the original will work with this version!

Printing

  • This model can be printed entirely without supports.
  • The spring should be printed with enough perimeters so that the thin arms of the spring are made entirely out of perimeter lines. This will make sure it bends in the correct way.

Assembly

  • Assembly is similar to the original Twist Lock Box
    Watch the video above for the complete assembly process.
  • Make sure to pre-tension the spring by one half of a gear tooth
    This will assure that the latches have a strong hold on the base. This is also necessary for the alignment of some toppers.
  • Make sure to glue the spring and topper
    If you do not fully secure these parts, the mechanism may become detached while in a locked state. Duper glue or hot glue can work.

Can I sell copies of this?

Yes! This model is available for commercial use!
