The concept here was pretty simple - could we have connected parts that print on one plane, and then move to a perpendicular plane in a more-or-less permanent way? Clearly, the answer is yes! :D

No support required, of course, and the whole thing prints flat and unfolded. Being an articulated model, it's to some degree sensitive to things like elephant footing, so make sure your first layer settings are dialled in.
So, where's a good point in the print to swap the filament colours? Well, obviously there's no actual necessity to swap it at all, and I quite like it in solid white, but that's less fun. The obvious points to swap the filament are:
a) After the side panels are complete, which is how I've done those test prints in the photos. That's about 2mm up or so.
b) After only one or two bottom layers, so that the very outer has a different colour to the insides of the side panels, and perhaps different again to the inside walls of the box.
Clearly, though, this is a model made for experimenting, and I'm excited to see what people come up with!
