      Hi guys, I just developed a music box which is fully 3D-printed.
      It took me about 4 months to build from scratch and I recently made a footage.
      This is the footage on YouTube

      Its musical instrument part is quite simple, just a hairpin Kalimba with linear alignment.
      The most crucial part lies in the sheet music's storing structure, which is a treadmill-like object.

      This thing is not manually crafted under any ordinary CAD software, but automatically generated by JSCAD V2!

      Once a song's sheet music is translated into a proper digital form
      (In my case is a long and nested array),
      it can be turned into printable files and printed out.

      I'm very grateful to the develop team for creating such a powerful software.

      If you have any suggestions and thoughts on this project, please leave me a comment!😊

      Hi! I made another music box featuring an automata of Santa Claus and Reindeer.

      This build has a longer song (Jingle Bells) and I managed to print all segments of the note tread out.
      Here's the Video on YouTube:

      Merry Christmas!

        Very glad to see interesting uses of jscad. Nice idea if I have seen correctly, that u are using hairpins for music.

        Also if you at some point want to share the project, there is rather new project for sharing code-cad projects: https://cadhub.xyz

          @Cid-Zhang WOW! Thanks for the super encouragement!

          It’s really nice to see designs being created using JSCAD. This is one of the best examples.

          I’m looking forward to your next design!

              @hrgdavor Thanks for the link! I It's good to know that script-based modeling now has its own sharing network.

                Wow very cool! Hard to imagine how that would even be possible with traditional CAD software 🙂
