May I suggest a Ferrero Rocher box?

Maybe score with a sharp blade and snap?
An option to print in a translucent filament perhaps?

The box for chocolates is my preferred option, besides I would think I could find a discounted "Christmas" edition :-)

I've got one in the shed, one of the numerous things my Dad kept "just in case". If you can't find one, or can't bring yourself to wade through all that chocolate to empty the box, give me a shout. It's quite old, so maybe the plastic is too thick.

this boundary issues
ive hit upon a right snag while reappointing the boundarys
i straightened the rear of a small shed remember this is at hip height
now ive gone after the side part as you can see its clearly over the boundary red brick wall and it had the wood and the plastic sides on the end of it
the red brick is the shared boundary
this is my own brother
there is an issue those stones are unsafe they are only lipped on right at the edge 1/4"-1/2" and they really need lifting and relaying if you bump the stone wall on other side they will come down
now im trimming the lot back as its a rediculous 5" over hang past the boundary you only have a cover over right and you dont have the right of air unless been there for well over 30 years
even if i trimmed it back its still 4" past the boundary
now if i want to be bone idle id unscrew all of the roof sheet and relay the lot back down so the nice edge is my side and the cut off edge is there side fit the nice trim my side tough luck to the other side as its not mine then water would run off the side
i dont see why i need to have one edge of the roof run off my side
im at the point do i wait and warn the new owners of the issue or just carry on and stuff them as they bought off my own brother though i havent sen a surveyor at teh property would love to know how they got a mortgage on a shared property owned by 2 partys as for my knowledge and been told a loan wouldnt be possible

You too, eh?My head I think.
Despite having been able to read for around 50 yrs, sometimes I read things and simply have absolutely no idea what on earth the words are actually trying to tell me

the propertys is my brothers and hes selling it ive had the loverly convo to sort the boundary issues which hes ignoring
the property has been sold and there waiting to sign the paperwork which will be soon
so i dont actually own what im taking apart which in this case is the item within the picture so i really have no right to mess with it
however its over the boundary as the red brick is the boundary which is a shared boundary
however if i leave it they gain right of air ( normally seen when someone builds an extension on the boundary ) then fits barge boards and guttering on the end of it onto your land ( this stops anyone from building there own extension )
if i wanted to build right up to the original boundary i cannot as theyve gained right of air over the property

I did not break it, it was broken before.
I just helped it on the way to be fully Fubar.
I knew it had a bit of rust.
One side of the flange had me a bit worried.
This had me reaching for the hot spanner and thin cutting discs.
But it was in vain.
The bowl body should be 1/4" thick.
So where is the rest?

Not today but Saturday, I broke a plastic jointer on the injector leak off pipe while replacing the glow plugs on the son in laws 3.2 Ranger.
It was never meant to come apart at this point so it was my fault for trying.
It needs a new one but I'm away this week so I bodged it to keep it going until I can swap it at the weekend.
I bent a bit of 1/4 kunifer, drilled a hole in it and silver soldered in a piece of 3/16.
It fitted together fine with no leaks so hopefully will keep it running for now.
Glow plugs are a pig of a job on these, manifold off jobbie.
