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.
