Not one of my designs but it is how I would design a box like this. It is large, thick walled, and heavy. It's also printed with PLA/wood. Hatchbox brand in this case..
Presently a work-in-progress and will require a lot of material and printing time. But that is OK. I have always maintained that 3D printing is not a race to see how fast the printer can run. It's all about how well it can print. Fast is not a prime requirement.

The top shown in the picture took almost 11 hours to print. The bottom is now on the printer and will run for about 16 hours. More info on this project will be coming...
​Seven hours run-time so far.Projected to be fifteen and three quarters, Layer height is 0.20 MM, three shells, infil is 20% with 125% infill extrusion width. Will consume 250 grams of material (.55 pounds).
The bottom is finished printing after almost 16 hours. Looks good! A light sanding and it will be ready for the finish application. The Kossel Delta printer is doing a super job.
Trial fit of the top shows all is well. Not a tight press fit, but easy on and off without being "loose". This is a full size print so resizing may affect lid fit. Gaps resize the same as the resize proportions. I am now printing the flowers! Very cool!
Looks like angel-hair spaghetti and clams on a crescent shaped dish.
It cleaned up, but not a nice as I would really like. I'll see how it looks after the staining and probably some heavy clear coat.
The big flowers are still printing but they are not doing any better. The petals are very fragile looking in the .STL file. There is still a lot of webbing. Maybe a cooler print temperature and longer length retraction could clear up this mess. I may print again if it looks as bad as it seems now...
Must have been a tarantula hiding in the rose bush spinning a web. Boy is that UGLY!
Well, it cleaned up. I am going to see if I can get a better, no strings attached print. New spool coming in tomorrow... If you squint a little, it doesn't look too bad. Hmmm...
Printed this left side 3.5 times. This (hopefully) is the last one. Much better than the original. Lowered print temp to 190 C. and reduced retraction to 2.75MM. I think the only way to improve it is lower layer height.
