Luxury Ball, with magnetic clasp (In Parts)

thingiverse

This version of the luxury ball with magnetic clasp lets you assemble the lid and bottom shells section by section, with each color separated out into distinct parts. A large number of parts are involved, so I have decided to break this down into a separate entity. If you prefer to print the lid as one single piece, please refer to http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:953054. Print all the individual components separately. Two Lux_Lid_Silver_Ring.stl files need to be printed - one for the lid and one for the bottom shell. I printed most of the parts using 1 shell, except for the Lux_Ring and the Lux_Lid_Silver_Ring, which I printed with 2 Shells each. Only the Silver Ring part required supports during printing. Additionally, I used 100% infill on the silver ring part due to its relatively fragile nature compared to the other parts. The lid components snap together very securely, so no glue is needed. To assemble the Lid correctly, start by printing out the black base and then attaching the gold ring 1 to it. Ensure that it is fully snapped into place before proceeding. Next, snap on the red ring, followed by the second gold ring, and finally the silver ring. Once you have assembled both the lid and the bottom shell, you can glue the button and the ring to the bottom with the hinge in place as you attach the ring to the bottom. Then, snap the hinge into the lid. Additionally, 2 magnets (1/4" X 1/16") are required for this project. Simply glue them in place. Tip: To minimize movement of the ball, print your bottom piece at a higher infill percentage - around 40-50% - and then all other parts at 5-10%. This will result in a more stable and less mobile design.
