Where classic meets practical! This highly realistic vintage rotary telephone is not only an elegant way to display your temporary parking number but also an exquisite desktop toy that instantly transports you back in time

Model Details

A meticulously recreated classic design from the rotary phone era! This model perfectly replicates every charming detail of an old-fashioned telephone: a 330° rotatable dial, a detachable handset, and a base design full of historical charm. It's not just a functional **temporary parking phone display** but also a **collectible desktop ornament** or **fun toy** that evokes nostalgia, with the printing process itself being an exploration of mechanical aesthetics

Feature Highlights

• 📞 Highly Realistic, Fun Interaction: The **dial rotates smoothly** with clear number markings; the **handset can be easily picked up and put down**, replicating a real user experience for endless fun
• 🚗 Dual Purpose, Practical and Aesthetic:
  • **Temporary Parking Phone**: Clearly displays your phone number, adding a unique vintage touch to your car
  • **Desktop Decoration/Toy**: An exquisite ornament for your office desk or bookshelf, serving as both a conversation starter and a stress-relief gadget
• 🧲 Magnetic Upgrade (Optional): Reserved **four 4x2mm magnet** installation slots (magnets sold separately). Once installed, the handset will be firmly held in place when put down, offering a more authentic feel and greater stability while driving.

Printing Recommendations

• Material Recommendation: **PLA** (preferred, for good detail) or **PETG** (more durable, good toughness). The **spring must be PETG**
• Layer Height: Recommend 0.16mm - 0.2mm layer height for a smooth dial and optimal detail
• Infill Density: 10%-15% (completely sufficient for ornamental strength)
• Support Structure: Optimized for minimal supports
• Magnets (Optional): If magnetic functionality is desired, please prepare 4 **4x2mm (4mm diameter, 2mm thickness) N52 neodymium magnets**

Installation method is as follows:

1. Print all parts:

2. Install magnets on the handset and holder

3. Install sequentially according to the diagram

4. Take a piece of filament, wrap it around a pen, and use a hairdryer to set its shape, paying attention to temperature control. This creates the connecting cord between the phone and the handset

5. Thread two connectors onto both ends of the prepared cord and use a lighter to heat-melt them

Install the connectors, done
