OK the post title is more clever than the project, it’s a box. But how awesome is it when your wife comes home from work and says “one of the techs needs a donation box for a project they are doing for saving sea turtles in mexico” and you can whip one out in under an hour to completed project. Apparently they are going to mexico for a free spay/neuter clinic and while they are there wanted to do something for the sea turtles with a local rescue agency. So off to OnShape (next time I will just edit the artwork and keep the box) mechanicals. I wanted to put the sign on the back plate so had that stick up and then got some cool free-tattoo artwork of a sea turtle. I got a Mayan font off DaFont.com (https://www.dafont.com/mayan2.font) and then did the artwork in Illustrator. It’s engraved in Medium Maple Plywood.
For those unfamiliar you can add artwork on top to personalize this box. And feel free to engrave across one of the holes like I did for the cash slot. It’s not a problem since during the cut the cut out piece is still there, so you aren’t engraving down onto the honeycomb…
Oh, and you are wondering how you empty the box? The left side of the box is simply friction-fit in so unlike the other sides which are CA glued the left side just fits in very snugly!
