Piano Music Box 1:12 - V3.0

Last year I made a piano with a Kikkerland Musicbox for my big girls godchild.

The challenge was to create a realistic keyboard and not a flat or even glued-on one like you find on many other toy pianos. But on the other hand, the music box again had to be sturdy enough for a child to play with. I think I found a good way.

 I customised the music box for a joint project with another platform and now for my original model published here on printables. 

Additional Parts

You will need a Kikerland hand winding music box. You can find a huge selection on amazon and ebay. (e.g. My Way Kikkerland Music Box (amazon.de) or Imagine Kikkerland Music Box (amazon.com))

Printing

The model consists of 12 individual parts that require up to 4 colors. 

- Housing (8 parts) e.g. matt black
- Keyboard - white keys (1 part) color white
- Keyboard - black keys (1 part) color black
- Pedals (1 part) e.g. gold or silver

All other pars can be printed with 0.20mm layer height and a infill of 15%. A 0.4 nozzle is sufficent for the modell and in my first print, the result was great. 

Only the back wall of the housing (part A) requires supports, all other parts can be printed without support structures.

Prepared Prusa Slicer projects can be found in the files. 

Assembly

The Kikkerland Music Box is mounted on a wooden board. The music box must be unscrewed from the board for assembly. You can use the screws to mount the music box on the back panel. 

For assembly, I recommend using superglue so that the model holds together even in children's hands. 
You will find detailed and illustrated assembly instructions in the files.
