I made and posted a minor variation, simple crammed to fit in a smaller area with less waste. Salvaged scraps are great toy material :-D
A genius design idea!!! :)
Having completed one last night I have to say I love it! 8-)
I intend to make another when I get time with a few tiny tweaks, and the aid of springs because I didn't have any to hand so tried using some squishy foam (seemed to work but I think springs would be better).
This is probably a silly question - but which lines count as cut lines for the purposes of getting it made by ponoko?
I had some 7/32 laying around and lazed this one out. Everything is slightly loose and jiggly, so I am assuming that 1/4 material would have been the better size.
So far, the one thing that has cropped up is the side panel closest to the tumbler part has an incorrect tab size. It has wider tabs on the top and bottom, but should be 1 narrower on the top edge, one wider on the bottom edge.
Those sizes should say 3/32" that I used first time (the 7/32 was plywood on a different item I was cutting) and 1/8" material. Using 1/8" worked like a charm.
One other issue on the existing file. Either the top panel or the tumbler side panel has the top tab-y bit on the wrong place to line up (assuming the size is fixed to fit, its the wrong place on the end nearest the tumblers).
My Tumbler Box is now done. I'd vote for this in the lazzzorbattle.
I can't wait to edit the video of your lockbox! Congrats on an awesome project!!!!

Instructions would be helpful. The case does not go together properly. Some of the smaller pins are too small and fall out.
