Good day fellow Whovians. Today I will show you how to design a 3-D Printable Tardis Pencil Box. I designed this on Tinkercad, and I will leave the link below if you just want to print it off. I designed this for the Make It Time contest, as who does time better than Doctor Who?

Add a Box

I added a box, scaled it to a height of 2, and made it 50 by 50.

Slope

Next I added a pyramid on top of that, made it 50 by 50, and scaled it down to make the slight slope up.

Next I added a box and made it 46 by 46, to make the box shape. Then I copied it again and made it 39 by 39, and changed it to hole, then grouped everything.

Doors

Next I added a box inside, making it slightly bigger than the hole, this is for that indented door design on the T.A.R.D.I.S. Next I added a box to make the line going up the middle. You can align everything to make sure it is in the middle.

Windows and Indent Design

Next I brought a bunch of small boxes in and lined them up to make the indents and windows in the door. Then I grouped everything, and now you can see that it is beginning to resemble the T.A.R.D.I.S.

Signs

Now we will work on the sign on top. I added a small box, and made it the general shape of the signs, then made everything the right color. I added the TEXT tool, and wrote the words, and maneuvered them around until they looked right. Then I copied them and put it all around.

Making It Hollow

I then added a Hole, and scaled it down a small bit, then grouped everything to make it hollow.

Windows

Then I began the window frames, and the pictures pretty much tell it all.

Roof

Next I added a box on top, aligned it, and made it a bit smaller. On top of that I added a pyramid and scaled it down.

Light on Top

I added a small box and a cylinder, and aligned them, then put them on top to form the small light.

Hole for Pens and Pencils

If you don't want a pencil holder, you could stop here. But we will continue on by adding a roof model, flipping it, making it hole, then putting them on top and grouping everything.

Finished
