Love gifting socks, but want to add a fancy gift wrap that shows off the socks at the same time?

I love knitting socks and always wanted a fancy gift wrap that would show them off in a cute way.
Enter the Sock Cupcake! You wrap the socks up in a spiral and then push them into the cupcake liner. With a cupcake topper, you can include some icons or even some text.
Features 🧁
Dimensions
Diameter at the top of the cupcake: 7.6cm (~3 inches)
Diameter at the bottom: 6cm
Wall thickness: 1.4mm
This size fits pretty well for handmade socks in size EU 38-40 (US Women's 7-9) when using superfine sock yarn (420m/100g).
For other sizes either just stuff the cupcake very loosely or tightly or change the model: you can scale it or make modifications in OpenSCAD. Or just ping me and I can upload other sizes :)
Grip edge
The cupcake has a negative chamfer at the top that grips onto the socks so they don't slide out so easily -- you can see this in the cross-section.
This also means that this model doesn't work as a mold!
If you're looking for a mold, e.g. to use as a kid's toy for a sand box, or a storage box, you could try out either one of these other models though -- they're not my own but I've test printed both and they both work well:
Printing
Nothing special but if you go for a concentric top and bottom layer, you get a very nice round pattern on the cupcake.
Modifications
This is an OpenSCAD model, so you can play around with it and change the dimensions or shape if you like. It uses the BOSL2 library, so you'll need to install this to work with the model.
Note
In the pictures you can see one other model: The Little Heart Cake Topper by MiroslavMiskuf. It's a great model, check it out! https://www.printables.com/model/407034-little-heart-cake-topper
