I designed this box in Fusion360 as a personal design challenge. I was inspired by Clockspring3D but felt like I could add some complexity and make the design more interesting. This box is comprised of 6 parts, the Knob, Lid Trim, Lid, Inner Box, Shroud Trim and Base. It uses one M4 x 8mm socket head cap screw to attach the knob to the lid and three more of the same screw to hold the inner box to the base. Make sure you can control your stringing on the trim elements!
The holes are sized so you do not need to tap them to accept the M4 bolts.
I printed this on my Prusa i3Mk3S in PLA at .2mm layer height with 15% gyroid infill. It doesn't need any support but the hole in the lid prints a bit cleaner if you support the recessed area where the socket head cap screw goes to attach the knob.
I prefer to print each part individually but you can plate them as you see fit.

First try came out really nice. A bit of filing and it went together real good. Orange is COEX PLA and the Grey is Amazon Basics PETG. Surprisingly good stuff to print with. My Ender 5 is modified to Direct Drive I loved the Orange/Grey combo. Next Print will be a Purple/Grey, then Yellow/brown maybe. Lots of great color choices
