**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!

**_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
