My print in place experiments culminate in this cool treasure chest that has functioning lock (and a separate key that opens it).
After printing, carefully bend the lid and loosen the hinges, breaking any possible z-seam blobs inside. Then check the bottom of the chest and the lock latch; run a fingernail or some other thin part along the latch edges and slightly push apart to loosen any fused z-seams. You can use for example a flat screwdriver and push the latch from the opposite end of the larger gap to loosen it finally. It's better to make sure the latch is free before twisting the key in the lock and possibly breaking it inside.

Just printed, no supports, and all stock settings on Ender 3. Really slick design! Thanks for the picture you sent to Fives' Workshop! That helped me figure out where pry the locking mechanism. My kid is gonna love this!
Thanks, I'm glad it worked!
This thing is awesome. Already filled with treasure lol
At first I printed it with my standard, faster K1 settings but I had issues loosening the z-seams, resulting in chest crash. I lowered outer wall amount from 3 to 2 and it worked flawlessly with no force at all. Great make!
Amazing model, easy print, would reccomend!
killer design, Was a pain to seperate the latch, Might be easier if there is a way to print the lock half locked as it would give more points to shimmy and wiggle it free!
Opinion on supports for this print?
I designed it to not need any supports!
Just printed on my A1 Mini, came out absolutely perfect! Such an impressive model! Thank you!
Print came out looking Great but can’t pry open any of the locking mechanism, even destroyed the box in an attempt to open it and it’s still sealed together, is there an easier print option with a loose locking mechanism available?
You can try adjusting the X/Y compensation or less flow so they parts don't fuse.
Is there any way you could post pictures? I cannot for the life of my understand your instructions on how to get the lock working. I am super impressed with the print, but I had to break the latch apart to try and understand what your instrcutions meant.
This is the main thing; just pry from the closed end. You can also carefully pry along the gaps on the long sides of the latch to loosen it.
