I made a strongbox with a gear lock using the xTool P2. I used 10mm thick boards,It’s sturdy and reliable. If you'd like to adjust or tweak it further, feel free to let me know!
STEP 2. Assembling the box
First assemble the basic box, glue the three pieces door frames in order.
Glue the three pieces door panels together, paying attention to aligning the contours, Insert the lock tongue into the slot.
There are three specifications of gears,
6 tooth gear*3
12 tooth gear*2
18 tooth gear*2
Glue a 6 tooth gear and an 18 tooth gear together, make two identical ones in the same way.
Put the gears into the corresponding places, and use m4 screws and nuts to fix them. Here I used 20mm long screws, ensure gears rotate smoothly.
Use hinges to combine the door and the box together.
