A friend of mine wanted something water-resistant to store his phone, wallet and car keys whenever he went boating, so I derived the Chilly Bin Water-Resistant Storage Box thanks to,

You will need 8 M3x20mm bolts or optionally 8 M3x25mm and 8 M3 Nyloc lock nuts as seen in the photos.
I used a tap to thread the holes but you can use an M3 bolt to self-tap the holes but I’d suggest you use a little lube to prevent the plastic from cracking. I would recommend you place a dab of lube on the latch bolts for easier latching.
Print the seal in TPU, or you can use silicon.
The inner dimension of the box is big enough to fit an iphone11 size phone, big fat wallet and keys etc.
Included in the files is an MMU version if you have the capabilities, otherwise there is a single colour version and a version without the logo if you prefer.
Happy Printing
