<p>A custom handle for a music box to be integrated into a crocheted animal.&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/WuArsxhw5WU"></oembed></figure><p>The Original handle was just to massive to place it unobtrusively or hide within a crocheted part.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:25.8%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/250955/rich_content/2369c004-d1b9-4929-9fde-3e9d587ebefa/music_box.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22eb9124a1-4eee-4993-aa69-3815fc340001%22%2C%22w%22%3A1130%2C%22h%22%3A1500%7D"></figure><p>It is shaped like the alpaca tail it is supposed to sit in and features a hole for the music boxes string, space for it's knot and two more holes to fixate it laterally inside the crocheted part so it won't rotate or come loose.</p><p>It is printed in polypropylene to be reasonably stiff, robust, washable and not to hard I case a child chews on ist. <strong>Please be careful when designing parts for little children.</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>I must admit it is a niche application for 3d printing but hey, maybe it's useful to someone or serves as an inspiration.&nbsp;</p><p>p.s.: the alpaca in question is featured in Kerry Lord's book Edward's Menagerie: The New Collection: 50 animal patterns to learn to crochet (just in case someone wants to know).</p>
