Perforated click-lid box

A small box for things that like a little air, or that you just want to see are still there. The lid is covered in tiny round holes and presses on with a click, plus a notch at the front to get a fingertip under it. Change the length, width and height to fit what you're storing.

Good to know

  • The 'Every part has a way in' check and the Use it motion show the lid as blocked. That's on purpose: it's the 0.3 mm click bump squeezing past the rim. The lip bends that little bit and snaps into the groove, which is what makes it click.
  • How firmly it clicks depends on your printer. If it's too tight, set Lid lip clearance to 0.15; if it's too loose, raise Click strength to 0.5.
