3D Printed Vase With Hidden Compartment

Hello makers.

I want to design something to hide my Things but People can't doubt that.

So, I design a Flower vase to hide my things at the bottom of the Vase.

I design a Hidden compartment at bottom of the vase to hide my things.

1>Laptop or computer for design

2>3D printer access

3>Some hand tool for post process

4>Flower and Clay

I want something which is visible normally but We can hide our things inside. I can find Flower vases that are easier to make and shown as regular things.

We can Make hidden compartment at the bottom to hide things.

Thanks to 3D print, this technology gives us flexibility to design almost anything and print in real life.

Select vase design from the internet.

I make my own Hexagonal pattern vase using fusion360.

• First, make a hexagon 100 mm. offset 2mm inside.
• Extrude it 20mm.
• Use an offset plane and place it 80mm above the plane.
• Draw hexagon and 2mm offset hexagon .
• Select Hexagons and move it 60 degrees for making a twisted Shape.
• Use LOFT command to join both hexagon.
• Repeat to make another Hexagon on top side to make a double decker hexagon shape.
• Use the SHELL command to define thickness 2mm.
• Make a circular Hidden compartment for the bottom.
• Make Slit to Hide and Lock circular compartment at bottom side.

Export all 3 Part in .STL file for 3D printing.

Use Slicing software to Make g-code files for 3D printers.

Use Below parameters for a good Print.

Layer height: 0.2mm

Infill:30%

Wall Count: 3

Support: Yes

Material :PLA

Build plate Adhesion: No

Use Hand tools like Pliers and Cutter to remove Support from printed models.

Use Feviquick or other adhesive to join top and Bottom parts.

Add clay in vase and Flowers.

Place anywhere you want.

I use this Vase to hide my Home key at garden.so, i place this vase in between other plants and hide my Key inside the compartment.

Another use is to hide money in hidden compartments and palace vases on the computer table or in the living room.

Anyone can see this but not steal your money or not access your things.

Enjoy Hiding !
