I was asked by my local Home Depot associate if I knew if of any prints that would show off the capabilities of the Dremel 3D Idea Builder better then the chess pieces and dinosaur heads they had been printing. I immediately thought of emmit's box.

But when reading the comments I noticed mention that the pins were a weak point. So I modified the file to allow them to be printed separately. That way when a pin inevitably breaks, I can give them the pin file that allows them to simply replace it.
This also allows for (what I would imagine would be) easier assembly as you can attach the leaves to the pins and put them in place before simply pressing the ring down on top.
I included a horizontal version of the pin with support in an effort to reduce it's weakness, but those pins didn't come out very well.
Additionally, I threw together a smaller version of the container in an effort to save plastic. This was made by cropping out a middle section and merging the top and bottom together. Unfortunately it has a weird inner lip where the two parts merged. Not a problem, just an oddity.
