These are pointless little boxes. They will hold various small items - such as a few coins, tiny seashells, an expensive pinky ring, a small amount of salt, a favourite pebble, a crumpled little piece of paper with your favourite word on it, a small pencil sharpener, a few pencil shavings.

Obviously I could continue. It's kind of fun as a conversation piece. Intrigue friends and family with the tiny things you store in each one.

I made this for something to print while trying to debug some filament challenges, thinking a pointless box is more interesting than just printing a pointless cube. The lid snugs in with a friction-fit fairly well.

To print the lid you can flip it upside down to avoid supports, or right-side up, with supports turned on for the outer lip. Works fine either way - see which finish you like best based on your slicer resolution settings and chosen orientation.

Obviously it doesn't use much filament, just over 2metres depending on your slicer settings
