Piano Music Box Hand Winding Kit-K015

For my older daughter’s godchild, I designed a unique music box in the shape of a piano. My goal was to create a realistic keyboard that goes beyond the typical flat or sticker-style keys often found on toy pianos. It was also important to make the piano sturdy enough for a child to play with.

Through the Creator Program, I was able to further develop my model with Bambu Lab, resulting in two versions of the music box: a hand-winding version, which you can find here, and another version with a wind-up mechanism, available here. 

If you are looking for a suitable chair for the piano, then take a look at the fantastic Piano Benches for my pianos from EYESTUDIO.

Printing

In my print profiles, I have grouped the individual parts on different print plates and specified the recommended filament colors and layer heights in the description. 

You can use a 0.20mm layer height with 15% infill for all parts. A 0.4 nozzle is sufficient for the model. Only the back wall of the housing requires supports; all other parts can be printed without supports.

For each part, I recommend using the following filaments:

• Piano Housing [Print Plate 1 to 3] 
  consisting of bottom and back panel, side panels, lower front panel and keyboard lid, keyboard bay, upper front panel and and Piano Lid 
  Bambu Lab PLA Basic Black (10101) or any other color you prefer
   
• Keyboard black keys [Print Plate 4]
  Bambu Lab PLA Basic Black (10101)
   
• Keyboard white keys [Print Plate 5]
  Bambu Lab PLA Basic Jade White (10100)
   
• Pedals [Print Plate 6]
  Bambu Lab PLA Silk Silver (13104)  

Additional Parts

For this model, you’ll need a music box, available as Piano Music Box Hand Winding Kit-K015 in the Bambu Lab Maker's Supply shop. The melody of the mechanism is randomly selected and may include pieces like Für Elise by Ludwig van Beethoven, (Somewhere) Over the Rainbow by Harold Arlen, Tale as Old as Time from Beauty and the Beast, and many more. Be surprised.

Assembly

A comprehensive assembly guide can be found in the documentation area.

Note: A quick tip based on some common assembly mistakes: ensure that the keyboard is installed correctly, with the black keys positioned away from the front.
