Lyrically Bizarre - Jewels Box

thingiverse

I've had this project in mind for quite a while now. I wanted something that would complement our modern chic style home with all my earrings, rings, and knick-knacks. This object has four distinct parts. First, the main box took about ten hours to print on my Ender 3. Although I don't recall the exact settings, I do remember increasing the wall thickness to prevent any infill from showing through. The infill was set at 10%, and I'm confident that the bottom will be sturdy enough, but I would recommend four or five top layers for extra support - you can always go higher if you like. Next, there's the bottom part of the lid. Unfortunately, my own print had some issues with a loose fit, which shifted slightly. Hopefully, I've managed to rectify that problem in the uploaded model after double-checking everything. The third part is the upper section of the lid. The two lid components need to be glued together using gel super glue - I used silver filament for the bottom and white for the top. I think it looks pretty cool! Finally, there's the decorative piece. You'll need to print four identical pieces, and the nice thing about this is that you can use different filaments to create unique styles. My own attempt wasn't perfect, though - I suspect my filament was slightly damp, and I printed at 60 speed, which didn't help. To add some extra flair, I glued small gems on top of each flower where they meet in the middle. If you'd like to replicate this style, feel free to do so! That's about it! I encourage you to give it a try and see if you enjoy it. If you or whoever receives this object loves it, please consider sending a little thank-you tip my way - I could definitely use more coffee to create even more 3D models!
