I designed this jewellery box to resemble a carousel.

When you turn the little ball on the top of the “tent”, the four drawers will slide out from the sides. Ideal for storing a few small items like rings and small neclaces. Here's a tip: paint some horses on the sides and color the tent to really bring it all together ;)

I tried to design this model to require as little support as possible, only a few parts need a bit of support or need to be turned.

The model only needs to be glued and doesn't need anything else done, except maybe some sanding and drilling.

I updated everything and scaled it up 150%. The old one was too small and broke while I build it together. I also redesigned a few parts: Roof, Tray Bottom, Top, … If you Downloaded the “Old” version, keep in mind that the new Parts didn't fit.

 

I would recommend enlarging the model, but definitely don't make it smaller.

If you have any questions, problems or ideas to make it better, feel free to let me know. 

 

Pictures of the assembled model will be posted soon, and I'm currently working on a video for the assembly and functionality of the model.

  • 1x Base
  • 5x Feet

!!! If you Downloaded the first “Old” version, scale it up to at least 150%. the old version is too easy to break. I Updated the Parts to 150%!!!
