'Donut' Watch / Bracelet / Chain Container

myminifactory

The "Donut" container is a simple solution for safely storing watches, bracelets and chains at home or when traveling. It's actually just a round container with a cap that is secured on with just a 90-degree turn, but the hole through the center adds a novel look while also helping to keep things like chains and bracelets in their natural round/oval shape. This easy two-part print consists of a base and a cap, with two versions available to accommodate different size watches/chains/bracelets. The sizes are as follows: Standard - Accommodates most watches/bracelets/chains, with an inside diameter of approximately 70mm and internal height of 45mm. Large (L) - 10mm larger in diameter at 80mm and 5mm taller at 52mm. The "Donut" containers can be printed in your choice of color(s), and using a different color for the base and cap looks good. They also make great small gifts. To use, simply remove the raft and clean up any small print imperfections, especially in the joining surfaces. Then, insert your watch/bracelet/chain and put the cap on. Slide the cap down into the locking channel and rotate it 90 degrees to close/securing. Note: The clearances applied between the joining surfaces should provide a snug fit when sliced with a well-set-up slicing app and printed on a precise/accurate machine. No post-processing should be necessary. However, if your print is tight in these areas, a light spray of silicone in these areas should make them slide smoothly. If it's still tight, a quick sand with very fine sandpaper should help make the surfaces rotate easier. Please refer to the images and print instructions for additional information, and don't forget to post images of your "Donut" containers in use for others to see.
