<p>Beach and Shore town souvenir music box internal box and lid - just transfer mechanics.&nbsp;</p><p>My 26 year old daughter sent me a music box she has had since she was little - the outer laser cut wooden case was still fine. &nbsp;The box and lid didn't stay snapped any more. &nbsp;Some of the notes were plinky.</p><p>I took it apart - and the plinky was because the spindle was worn down. &nbsp;A 1.77 mm cone shape on a straight shaft (yes a piece of filed down 3d printer filament!) fixed the spindle and the high-end plinkies got sorted out.</p><p>So I just re-mixed the parametric box, measured the workings and where the screw holes had to go with my trusty calipers, and transferred it all into 3dbuilder program that is free in windows.</p><p>Result is a decent sounding repair job. &nbsp;I have some 1.88 steel wire that I will probably use a file to get a cone shaped end - and then cut it down to 4mm length (hard to do cuz the little sucker snaps and flies all over the room - you go find a 4mm x 1.88 mm piece of wire.</p><p>Printing is easy - defaults are fine. &nbsp;No supports. &nbsp;I used PETG and got a nice timbre but it wasn't because I know what I'm doing in that department. &nbsp;Heck, it's a miracle that I know the word timbre, let alone able to use it effectively in a sentence.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
