Summary

Original design as a challenge to develop a unique opening box. When done, resembled one of Bender's eyes. A co-worker said it looked like a Venus Fly trap, so named it "Venus Box".

A cam actuates 4 doors by rotating the spherical cover (don't squeeze). Locks securely open and closed. The whole thing snaps together, and prints without supports.

Print Cam at 0.3 or lower, with 2 shells and 20% infill, no raft.
Print Cover with raft at 0.3 or lower, 2 shells, 20% infill.
Print the doors with raft at 0.2 or lower, with 3 shells and 20% infill.

Trim off the triangular nuggets on the door hinges, they're only there to help the build.
Slide the doors together, posts go into the hooked holes, don't snap these together.
If you print the Cam at 0.3, use sand paper, file or soldering iron to smooth out the stair steps on the 4 lower race faces before assembling.

Enjoy :)
