Secret Storage Book - Fairy Edition

The Secret Storage Book – Fairy Edition is the third release in my Ornate Book series. This decorative storage container is designed to resemble a classic embossed book, featuring an intricate fairy motif inspired by traditional fantasy and folklore book art.

Designed to blend naturally into a bookshelf or display, the book conceals a practical storage compartment inside while maintaining the look of a solid, decorative tome. The interior can be used for general storage such as small personal items, keepsakes, or hobby accessories, and is well suited for items like tabletop gaming dice, tokens, or similar objects.

The model is optimized for easy 3D printing. 

• No supports required

• Print-in-place hinges

• Low infill (10%) and only two perimeters needed

• Efficient filament usage with excellent surface detail

The internal paper-look storage box prints as a separate part and is fixed into the book cover using just a couple of drops of glue.

 PRINTING RECOMMENDATIONS:

• • Material: PLA

• • Layer height: 0.2 mm recommended (0.15 mm optional)

• • Perimeters: 2

• • Infill: ~10%

• • Supports: Not required

For best embossing quality, print the book standing upright.
A 5mm brim is recommended for bed adhesion.



HINGES:

The print-in place hinges are designed with 0.3 mm clearance and may fuse slightly.
After printing, gently flex the cover to release them.

 For extra durability:

• Add a 4 mm tall modifier cylinder on the hinges

• Set it to 4 perimeter layers (or 100% infill)

 Pre-made PrusaSlicer project files are included with this modifier already applied.

CUSTOM BACK TEXT:

The back cover supports custom recessed text. Add your favorite book-title directly in the slicer!

In PrusaSlicer:

• Add Text Modifier

• Set to “Cut”

• Depth: 1.2 mm

• Select the desired font and adjust size and positioning

 A ready-made text modifier is included in the .3mf files

Tip: If you plan to use the fully embossed book as a decorative desk-piece, rotate the book cover text so the text reads from top to bottom. This will ensure the text is the correct way up when the book is laying on the table.
