Print Profile(1)
Bill of Materials
Description
This twisting box is a perfect gift when combined with a ring or any small jewellery.
It can be scaled up or down but I found 80% scale from the original design works best especially with a ring.
The printing profile is already with 80% scale.
Updated 22/02/2026 - added more detailed post processing instructions, hope it helps 🙏
Updated 09/02/2026 - adjusted print profile to improve the quality and reduce failure chance, please let me know how your print came out
Post processing and assembly
Step 1: Remove 5 supports
There are in total 5 supports as shown in green in the image below.
Please remove them carefully before attaching the bottom part.
Step 2: Attach the bottom part
The bottom part is designed to snap fit. Just bring it into position and rotate it slowly counterclockwise while giving some pressure from the bottom, after a few seconds it should lock in place. Please refer to the GIF animation above with the orange box.
You may need to help the levers move by moving them gently with tweezers so they can grab the bottom part.
The bottom part can be also detached by pressing on three levers.
Step 3: Twist it
After attaching the bottom part twist it slowly. The bottom part should move counterclockwise and the top part should move clockwise - this will close the box. Twist the box several times opening and closing it to loosen the internal parts and make the motion smooth.
Please refer to the video below or to the GIF animations above to double check the direction of the rotation.
Step 4: Attach the ring holder
I added a simple 3d printed ring holder which can be attached inside to the moving platform with glue or double sided tape, although it may be preferable to use some soft padding instead.
