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.

Supplies

Materials

Clips
A piece of cardboard
PLA
Glue gun
Silicone sticks

Step 1: Design the Jeweler

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

Step 2: Lower Base

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

Step 3: The Rest of the Prototype

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

Step 4: Upper Base

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

Step 5: Assembly

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

Step 6: 3D Printing

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.

Step 7: Stability

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.
