Box for 10 nintendo DS/3DS games
Description
[edit] I did some tweaking on the box with lid. Now, you don't have to slide the lid all the way, but rather only the last centimeter. Also, the box is now 2mm smaller than before, and 1mm thinner. Finally, instead of friction on the whole length of the lid, there is now a little "boss" that holds the lid closed.

I printed the model with the lid, and I'm quite impressed with the arrangement and fit of the cartridges. The only thing I couldn't get to work right is the lid... it came out with very thin walls on the sides, and I'm afraid the layers will bend and separate. I wonder if you beefed up the sidewalls of the lid (and body to match the profile), if the object would be more sturdy.
I'm printing the "lidless" one right now... I'm printing two... one of me, and one for my 7 year old daughter. This storage device is really great. Thanks for making and posting. :)
as for the side walls, i can certainly add some structural strengthening to the walls, maybe even without making the box wider, as there is room left on the inside.
for the back end, i wanted to make both ends of the case parallel. i can see the overhang problem (which i don't have on our printer), and i will try to think of a solution.
also, thank you for your feedback :-D
Also, maybe the angle on the back end of the case could be brought more "upright", so the layers build without overhang (without needing to use support).

The scale on the lid seems too small when I bring it into Slic3r. Is anyone else seeing this issue?
could it be some mm/inch issue? both base + lid should be 41mm wide - maybe you can just set that in some utility or in the slicer?
