J_Hodgie recently uploaded a design for a clamp box to Thingiverse. Even after seeing his Flickr stream showing all of the parts and the stages of it opening I didn’t quite get how it worked at first. Each of those six “T” shaped prongs sticking out from the lid have a little protuberance that fits into a groove at the top of the box. When the gear/lid is rotated counter-clockwise it will pull the six “T” shaped prongs into the lid and lock it shut.
This design is just so cool. It’s got a gear for steampunk style, a satisfying rotating mechanism, and creates a box that will confound and surprise someone the first time they pick it up. After all, who would expect the cap of a jar to expand as you open it?
