A secret box disguised as the world's smuggest bird

No lid, no clasp, nothing to pry, just a toucan that absolutely will not talk. Figuring out how it opens is genuinely satisfying (I've handed it to people who insisted it was solid plastic). And it's fully customizable: pick your colors, texture the beak, even engrave a name on it. Make one that's unmistakably yours.

I made a puzzle box. It became a toucan. I have accepted this.

Started as a clean abstract secret box, ended as a bird judging me from the desk. It doesn't open by force, it opens when it clicks, and that little "ohhh" moment is the whole reason it exists. You can also recolour every part and give the beak your own texture or text, so your toucan doesn't have to look like my toucan.

Kept the Wampa mostly white and just accented the key parts

Experimented with a minimal approach on this Hoth snow beast — left the fur its natural white and only hit the eyes, snout, teeth, gums and claw tips. Sometimes less paint on a white creature reads better than fully covering it. Curious what you'd have done differently.

Parametric puzzle box where the mechanism stays fixed as the box resizes

The interesting problem was letting height, width and length vary independently while the locking geometry, clearances and part alignment stay exactly where they need to be. Asserts catch dimensions the mechanism physically can't fit into, rather than silently generating a broken box.

Lid and button decoration accept arbitrary SVGs or text, either engraved or emitted as separate inlay geometry for multicolour printing. There are exploded and cutaway preview modes, and each part can be exported on its own.

Presto: a puzzle box you can resize and put your own artwork on

The box is parametric, so you set the internal size to whatever you're storing, or pick a preset. Lid takes your own SVG or text, engraved or as a flush inlay, and the buttons take artwork too. Every part can be a different colour.

Two small springs are the only non-printed parts. Everything else prints without supports and goes together in a couple of minutes.

Presto — a parametric puzzle box

The lid sits flush with nothing to grab. That's the point.

You can resize the inside for dice, cards, keys, whatever, and the lid and buttons take your own SVGs or text, either engraved or as flush multicolour inlays.

Prints easily and assembles quickly.
