PUZZLE BOX 01

🧩 Mystery Cube 01

A pocket-sized puzzle box that uses misdirection to keep your treasures safe. This 5x5cm cube consists of two interlocking frames that slide back and forth with a smooth, tactile action.

The Trick: Most people will spend minutes sliding the frames back and forth, trying to "unlock" a mechanism that doesn't exist. The real secret is a hidden magnetic trapdoor concealed on the bottom of the inner box, protected by a magnetic "snap" that keeps it perfectly flush.

🌟 Features

• Satisfying Fidget: The sliding boxes provide a great tactile feel, even if you aren't trying to solve it.
• Mechanical Misdirection: The sliding motion is a "red herring" designed to distract from the true opening.
• Magnetic Security: Two 4x2mm magnets ensure the secret lid won't slide open accidentally.
• Compact Storage: Perfect for rings, SD cards, or emergency cash.

🧲 Hardware Needed

• 2x Magnets (4x2mm): One for the lid, one for the box body.
• Superglue: To secure the magnets permanently.

🛠️ Print Recommendations

• Layer Height: 0.16mm or 0.20mm. (0.16mm makes the "fidget" slide much smoother).
• Supports: None required.
• Orientation: Print as provided in the file for the best structural integrity.

💡 Assembly Noteglueing

1. Drop the magnets into the circular slots on the lid and the inner box base.
2. Check Polarity! Make sure they attract each other before glueing 
3. Once the glue is dry, slide the lid into place. It will "snap" shut and stay hidden.
