How To Design a 3D Printed Mystery Box using Plasticity

In this video we are going to model the iconic Question Mark Block using Plasticity, but with a twist. We are going to design it hollow for 3d printing and use 2 of the dots as snap features to lock it in place.

Some general things to keep in mind. 3D printing, especially desktop FDM/FFF machines will vary wildly in their tolerances. The generally accepted number is +- 0.2mm. I am using a Creality K1 Max in this video which prints slightly undersized by 0.1mm. For you to print your own parts you will need to have an understanding of the accuracy and tolerance for your own printer. The good news is that printing both parts of the block generally avoids any major size tolerance issues.

The printer in this video is currently undergoing a rebuild for some extrusion issues which are unrelated to the 3D model from Plasticity.
