Abuse of Power
iFauxn 4 Cash/Gift Card Trap by MatthewLaBerge
As Uncle Ben said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” I’m afraid that one of our own Thingiverse citizens, MatthewLaBerge, appears to have been seduced by the dark side of 3D printing.
His gift to an indecisive family member was an iPhone 4 shaped plastic box with the actual gift inserted part way through the printing process. Once the gift (seen above) was included, he un-paused the print job – completely enclosing the present inside plastic. The sealed plastic case was then sewn into a felted sock and then wrapped in six skeins of yarn. 1
It’s like the world’s first evil pinata.
- Pretty much the only way to make it less accessible would have been to place it inside a secure cryptex. [↩]

Actually, I’m surprised more people don’t do this kind of thing more frequently. I tried laying LEDs with long leads into prints and it worked rather nicely. I created a little groove, as it is hard to place the item while the stage is moving.
