OBDF Hexarium!

 Little honeycomb cells to keep special items and small trinkets of emotional or sentimental value both safe and on display.

Many prototypes! I started too large, ended up quite small, I still think something in between these sizes is the best - or perhaps multiple set sizes. Also still figuring out the best way to - have these both display and accessable. 

Currently held together by magnets, the smaller magnets didn't get here in time but what I have works well enough, ideally they'd be embedded in the plastic itself while printing, hidden in the walls - although I also want the walls to be narrow enough to look good, especially since they double next to each other.

 And working on a way to have a lid that's both clear and tidy, secure and removable has been a great series of prototypes, from slide-out, tape or ribble to pull off, to what I think might end up being the best option of a small hole in the back that a toothpick or something small can be pushed in through the back to push the clear display lid out - but of course I have endless ideas for future iterations.
