**9/1/24 Design Improvement:** I've made assembling these cake boxes even easier. Previously, you needed to glue multiple separate bottom cream pieces, which could be time consuming and sometimes tricky to align. Now, all the cream details are part of the bottom plate, allowing you to print one large piece and glue it to the base. This update not only simplifies the assembly process but also ensures perfect alignment every time.

Introducing the Vintage Cake Recipe Box! Inspired by classic cakes from yesteryear, this charming 3D print design adds a nostalgic touch to your kitchen. Featuring a fully 3D printable hinge, it requires no extra items—just a bit of glue for assembly. Designed to fit both 3x5 inches traditional and 4x6 inches standard recipe card sizes.
Beyond holding recipes, it looks super cute on your kitchen counter and can also be used as a storage box for bathroom essentials or jewelry, making it a versatile addition to any room. Perfect for bakers, vintage enthusiasts, and anyone who loves a touch of retro charm!

**Print Settings**
- I recommend using a brim for large items with corners to prevent warping.
- No supports needed for printing. To see the best printing orientation, check the .3mf file.
- 10% infill
- 2-3 walls
- 0.4mm nozzle
- 0.12 - 0.2 mm layer height

**Other Details**
Print at 100% for a 4x6 recipe card or scale to 84% for a standard 3x5 card.

Choose between two cream toppings so you can personalize it even further!

**Assembly**
Watch assembly video here: https://youtu.be/D_Efm2zowLc
**_Note: With the new design update, you can now skip the step where separate cream pieces are glued individually. Instead, simply glue the entire bottom plate, which includes all the cream details, onto the cake for a faster and easier assembly._**

_**Edit 12/15/24:** I uploaded a .3mf file specifically designed for AMS machines. Some minor assembly is still required to eliminate the need for supports. You just have to glue the cream piece onto the top of the lid. Additionally, I've resolved the logo issue that some users encountered on the bottom._

Introducing the charming Vintage Kitsch Cake Jewelry Box, perfect for those looking to add a playful yet retro touch to their decor, while also serving a practical purpose. This delightful circular fake cake doubles as a catch-all container, designed with a kitsch aesthetic reminiscent of the quirky and colorful styles of mid-20th century Americana.

The design features intricate details that mimic the look of a real layered cake, complete with decorative icing and vintage-inspired embellishments. The top layer of the cake conveniently lifts, revealing a hidden compartment perfect for storing small everyday items like keys, jewelry, or coins, making it a versatile addition to any room.

These are available with three different wording options that you can choose to display on the cake, perfect for Mother's day, Teacher Appreciation day, anniversary gift, or birthday gifts.

**Print Settings**
- Requires a brim for the cherries. The rest of the model will not need a brim.
- Support is required for the lid if it is not printed with its top side down. If the lid is printed with the top facing the build plate, no support is needed. The rest of the model should print without support.
- 10% infill
- 2-3 walls
- 0.4mm nozzle
-0.12mm to 0.2mm layer height

**Assembly**
I chose a unique color of PLA for each part of the cake. I then attached the cherry to the cream using super glue and subsequently secured the creams to both the lid and the base of the container. Watch the final assembly here: https://youtu.be/JfNww0KnOHI

Pool Noodle Sword - Dueling Devil

**Added R2 model which includes new sword and insert. I increased the depth of the threads into the helm which adds significant strength. **

If the kids are playing in the pool or running around in the backyard, this pool noodle sword will elevate their sword game! These work with a small pool noodle with a 1” (25mm) hole. Designed to be printed helm down (sword) and threads up (insert) they easily thread together so you can get your battle time going! The pool noodle fits snugly onto the insert so it doesn’t come off during your duels! 

Printing Directions:
**Outer layers > 3
Infill > 50%**

These need strength. The connection between the helm and the insert is a breaking point if you go light on layers and infill. Also, try to keep the blade (noodle) to 12 – 16”. Longer blades add more stress when the kids actually hit something. 

Make sure to check out the other swords!

Pool Noodle Sword - Dueling Devil

Dueling Devil.stl

This box was born as a special collaboration between me and [3D Printing World](https://thangs.com/designer/3dprintingworld), where I sculpted the Magnolia flower on top and he designed the mechanical box.

This box is an outcome of a special request for a marriage proposal of a great member of the 3D Printing Community.
**Caleb**, the producer and costar of [HotMakes](https://youtube.com/@HotMakesLive?si=8Z-TZeVbEQwuodcW) wanted a mechanical ring box that somehow incorporates his girlfriend (now fiancés) favorite flower, the magnolia.
- - -
This type of mechanism **3D Printing World** created is perfect for a magnolia since the number of petals on the flower line up perfectly with 60 degrees.
Each of the six petals on top are connected to an outside ring gear and an inside torsion loaded spring gear.
When you hold the box and rotate the ring gear the pedals open. When you let go of the gear, the spring loaded gear forces the pedals to come together.

_**The bottom of the box prints in place.**
Use a .4mm nozzle and .2mm layer heights or smaller. You will need to print three double pedals and three single pedals. You will also want to print the shim which will help to glue the pedals squarely onto the shafts. None of the parts require supports. **There is also 3MF files for dual color pedals.**_

_The top petals glue onto locators on the top of each shaft to glue it together.
Make sure you alternate between single and double pedals.
**See the assembly video for assembly instructions.**_
- - -
Much thanks to **3D Printing World** for creating this brilliant and magical mechanism that makes the box so unique, without which the magic would not have been possible.
