3D model description

Looks completely locked - but it opens if you know the trick.

The lid uses interlocking dovetails in both X and Y directions, making it impossible
to slide open. The secret: rotate the lid to release it.

A great desk puzzle, gift, or conversation starter.
Print in two colors for maximum effect (body + lid separately).

✔ 2 STL files (body + lid)
✔ No supports required
✔ 0.2mm layers / 20% infill

A box that seems impossible to open - until you discover the trick.
The lid uses X and Y dovetails: impossible to slide off.
Secret: you have to turn it. Perfect as a gift or desktop item.
2 colors recommended for visual effect.
