The **PuzzeLock Box** is more than just a container — it’s a fully 3D-printed puzzle hidden inside a working lock. At first glance, it looks like a simple latch-box, but beneath its 2 mm-thick false floor lies a **programmable lock system** built entirely from printed parts.  

To open it, you’ll need to solve a sequence of steps:  
1. **Set the secret number dial** (42 possible positions)  
2. **Spin the box** to release the centrifugal latch  
3. **Slide the hinge into position**  
4. **Release the main latch**  

Only when each step is done correctly will the lid unlock.  
It’s part puzzle, part lock — and all 3D-printed fun.  

**Key Features**  
- **100% printed** – no hardware, screws, or extra parts required  
- **Programmable lock system** with your own secret number  
- **Unique puzzle sequence** – every opening feels like a mini adventure  
- **Snap-together design** with print-in-place latch  
- **Compact but useful**: inside cavity fits cash, cards, small valuables, or even a phone  
- **Great gift or challenge** – part puzzle, part secure stash  

**How it Works**  
- The **Secret Dial** (42 numbers) acts as a combination lock  
- A **Centrifugal Latch** with gravity weights forces you to spin the box on a flat surface  
- The **Sliding Hinge Section** controls both the dial and the latch  
- The **Latch Bar** at the front is the final lock, only freed once all conditions are met  

This layered system prevents “safe-cracking” by touch and guarantees that only the correct sequence will unlock it.

**Revisions and Updates**
I occasionally update and revise my designs. When I do, I’ll document the changes here. Check back periodically for the latest revision notes or if you’re experiencing any issues with a model.  
2025-10-10: I have uploaded a revised version of the Box [100] with improved geometry, which should allow it to release more easily.  The new design includes a new small piece of removable support, which is shown in the new PDF document attached.   I have also significantly expanded the assembly instructions with addtional diagrams.
