In recent months we have known how home automation has taken over our house and our security. Personal security that we can also use to keep our most intimate secrets or simply make interesting gifts, which is the main use of this device.
User Scott Fisher has created a curious box that many of us can confuse with a safe but it really is a box to make curious and intriguing gifts. To do this, Scott has used 3D printing and an Arduino board, totally free elements that we can get almost anywhere. The project is completely released and posted on the Instructables repository, so we can do it at home without any problem. The project of this curious box creates a device with four compartments. Three of them will be focused on storing documents, objects, money, etc ... The fourth of these compartments is where the Arduino board and other components will be kept so that no one has access to it and can tamper with the plate or render it unusable.
This peculiar puzzle box could be altered to become a safe
The combination of Arduino with this box makes the possibilities interesting and many, not only limited to the numerical key but also GPS and other sensors can also be used to enable the box to be opened in certain places, at certain times or even with certain fingerprints. Interesting combinations not only to store our gifts in this box but also to be used as a home safe, an easy modification to do because both the code and the construction method can be found on the Instructables website, you only need to change the construction from the box, moving from 3D printing to metal or other harder material. Personally I believe that the future of this box is not the world of gifts but the world of security, security that many will be able to get for little money, But will some risk their money on these devices?
