3D Printing World shared this video on Youtube! More from Randomizy:
This box was born as a special collaboration between me and 3D Printing World, where I sculpted the Magnolia flower on top and he designed the mechanical box.
This box is a outcome of a special request for a marriage proposal of a great member of the 3D Printing Community.
Caleb, the producer and costar of HotMakes wanted a mechanical ring box that somehow incorporates his girlfriend (now fiancés) favorite flower, the magnolia.
This type of mechanism 3D Printing World created is perfect for a magnolia since the number of pedals on the flower line up perfectly with 60 degrees.
Each of the six petals on top are connected to an outside ring gear and an inside torsion loaded spring gear.
When you hold the box and rotate the ring gear the pedals open. When you let go of the gear, the spring loaded gear forces the pedals to come together.
