Book Earrings and Book Box

thingiverse

This is a set of books designed to be glued together to make earrings. Also included is a book shaped case to store the earrings. Earrings: Print two of each of the short and medium sized books and four of the tall books. <img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/0b/8a/9c/45/5a/featured_preview_Books3.jpg" alt="Books" title="books" /> Then, between the medium and small book, install the book hanger. I made my hanger using a paperclip. Bend the paperclip into a loop shape with a small triangle on the other end. With a pair of plyers, hold the loop end of the paper clip and heat up the triangle end up to the loop end until it starts to turn a different color. (WARNING, it will burn you severely at this point) Then quickly sandwich it between the medium and small books with the loop at the top of the two books (make sure the bottoms of the books are square and oriented in the correct direction.) This will burn the paper clip between the two books and affectively glue the two together at the same time. <img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/8a/ba/f1/e1/56/featured_preview_Books5.jpg" alt="BookHanger" title="bookHanger" /> Finally glue the two tall books to the outside. <img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/24/92/43/0a/0e/featured_preview_Books6.jpg" alt="FinishedBooks" title="finishedBooks" /> BookBox: Print the book box. Use a piece of 1.77mm printer filament as a hinge pin. <img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/5d/f3/79/a5/39/featured_preview_BookHingeII.Jpg" alt="Hinge" title="Hinge" />
