Geocache Description:


A cache box with a 3D printed puzzle log book container inside. This box was designed by Build_Something_Amazing. It has a ball bearing and two magnets inside. All you have to do to open is get the ball bearing from one magnet to another. The box is bigger than we’d like, but scaling the box and the ball bearing and the magnets is a step too far.

The second part of this series takes paths around the hamlet of Clint with parking for 4 – 5 cars to be found at N54 02.041 W001 35.874.

This series of caches was dreamt up during the Covid19 lockdown. With little possibility to go out seeking geocaches the brain cells turn to putting out geocaches round and about home. We had often thought about buying a 3D printer, so we decided to take the plunge. A printer kit was acquired and constructed on the dining room table. All went well, apart from a loose lead screw, which was quickly remedied. Thoughts turn to what to print and, thankfully, there are many designs for geocaches available.

The logbook container was printed in PLA, a material that may not be totally suitable for outdoors. For that reason the logbook container is housed in a clip lock box as a precaution. We also don’t know how sturdy the container is likely to be, particularly the brittle nature of printed plastic, so feedback would be appreciated. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PUZZLE SHOULD NOT NEED FORCE TO OPEN. Please to reassemble as found.

Enjoy!
