Mini Barrel organ with Carillon and Theater

This model is designed as a mini "Barrel Organ" (see Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_organ ) where the musical organ consists of a small music box and the shape is that of a closed cart equipped with wheels and bars for transport as was done in past centuries. Next to the music box for decoration I also placed/glued a mini-theater on which I glued a print of some typical Italian carnival masks (Pulcinella, Harlequin, Colombina) but obviously everyone can replace both the theater and the print as they wish. The cart was further decorated with friezes that I created using the MakerLab “Relief Sculpture Creator” tool; I inserted these friezes into the print profiles (they are to be glued with superglue).

Last important detail: the cart is internally illuminated with a 30 cm LED wire powered by a 3V battery and an ON/OFF button. This is the most complex part of the assembly: I created a groove of about 2 mm in diameter on the back of the cart, which is approximately the diameter of my LED wire. To fix the wire, however, a little superglue is needed and the operation must be done one piece at a time; you then need to carefully measure the electrical wire coming from the battery, cut it to size and connect it to the LED (I soldered it: pay attention to the LED polarity!)
