Max GlenisterXenomorph Gift and Box
This post was published in 2017 and is kept here for reference. It may contain information that's outdated or inaccurate.
It was my friend Dave’s birthday, and he loves the Alien movie franchise.
I found a nice model of a Xenomorph Guard on Thingiverse and using Tinkercad stuck it on a base with his name.
I then designed a box to keep the model in, complete with snap-together functioning hinge. The box features the label “NOSTROMO” above the clasp on the front, as a reference to the ship from the movie.
The box had some problem printing – I suspect due to the layers cooling too fast – so the edges started to curl up off of the printer bed.
Beyond that it turned out great, and Dave loved it.
