Rotating Jewelry Box

In traditional jewelry boxes, it's common that the necklaces get tangled, which can lead to knots that are difficult to undo. Because of this I wanted to make a jewelry box that could hold necklaces, bracelets, or rings, so I designed a prototype with multiple hooks, as well as the ability to rotate to make it easier to use.

Materials

1. Clips
2. A piece of cardboard
3. PLA
4. Glue gun
5. Silicone sticks

When I had the design in mind of my prototype, I drew it in an application called Onshape, which is used for creating computer-aided designs, and that's where I started creating each part of my jewelry box, I started drawing it in centimeters, but having in mind that it will be printed in 3D, so it could not be really a big or a real size product

This piece (the bottom base) of the prototype was created to be able to rotate the rest of the body.

This piece was designed to be the prototype´s part to rotate and unfold from the lower base

The upper base was created to connect with the rest of the protype and paste the hooks

When each part of the prototype was done, I assembled them, to see how it would see.

Once I had both parts of my prototype in STL format, I transferred them to UltiMaker Cura to print my pieces in 3D, where some supports were added for a better printing. After 2 hours of this process, the pieces were printed, and all the supports were removed, so I could make the modifications planned.

To give a support to the base of the jewelry box and allow it to rotate, the bottom part of the prototype needed stability. With the help of a cereal box, I cut a piece of cardboard and paste the lower base.

With the help of clips I cut them as a shape of hooks, and with hot glue, I attached them to the edge of the upper base.
