Prompt
"Generate a 3D CAD model optimized for FDM 3D printing of a smartphone productivity lockbox, inspired by a mechanical zip-tie mechanism. The design consists of a solid rectangular base that fits a standard smartphone, equipped with a hinged lid. The locking mechanism features a prominent external rotary dial. When turned clockwise, the dial pulls a curved, flexible ratcheting strap into a spring-loaded pawl housing, creating a tactile 'clicking' sound and locking the lid shut—simulating the tightening of a zip-tie. Inside the dial housing is an integrated, print-in-place compliant plastic spiral torsion spring. When the box is resting on a surface, the tensioned spring provides continuous, slow counter-force to unwind the dial backward toward zero. A high-friction mechanical governor slows down this unwinding process to act as a physical countdown timer. Once the dial fully unwinds back to the starting position, the pawl releases, and the lid pops open automatically.
