hi there im after a bit of help in fusion360, i have drawn up a small container but i need it to be able to open one side and i was thinking of using some 3mm stainless pins to pass through say 6 tabs, i would also like to be able to lock it shut if possible??

this is going to be 3d printed.

 

thanks

It is already 2 bodies, 

Save each body as STL,  for printing, but they need a bit more work for efficient printing, 

I didn’t  do any work for locking, because it is still in the idea stage....

The fillets were too big in my view but when with what was given.

 

Might help......

yes i think you're right regarding the fillets, i was just trying to get a round edge on those corners, the part is going to be a tool holding box on a scrambler, putting a tyre iron and a couple of spanners in for my dad. i was putting the fillet so there was no sharp edges at the front, think i would like to put a bit of a lip around the inside of the main body too.
