Some time ago I had a conversation with my dad about some medieval chests. A retired engineer that he is, spends his days making and fixing all things wooden. So this got his interested and things progressed as his engineering brain got interested in the old chest and locking mechanize. As he's been a bit cook with lung issue in the last few weeks he's been spending time on the computer designing instead of being in his shed making things.
The result of several conversations and a bunch of 3D test prints on my printer from this 3D drawings and the the chest is starting to come together. Still a ways to go as we adjust the drawings to allow for the PLA 3D printed tolerances, as the first run the parts were to tight to fit together.
The ultimate goal is to have a full functioning lockable 3d printed chest. A bit fun and something different.
