Jewelry Chain Holder

A problem that I frequently have is that I always lose the chains that I keep on my neck. I usually just put them on my bedside table and they usually get knocked over. I needed a way to keep track of my chains in an easy and accessible way. I created a stand to hold all my chains in place at the same time.

I made this on Tinkercad and 3D printed it out.

First, you need to create an account on a website named Tinkercad. You can log in with email or anything you want. When you are logged in, you need to get to the dashboard. When you are at the dashboard, you need to go down to the create button and create a new 3D design. When you press the 3D design button, you can use many shapes on the right-hand side for this design. You can use any shape or design you want to make the holder. If you have trouble with any of the Tinkercad problems, many videos online can help you.

My final design for the holder is the first picture attached. When you get to something like that, you need to press the export button in the top right corner. It is in between the import and send to buttons. When you click that, you need to press the.STL button to upload it. When you get that done, you need to open Prusa Slicer. Prusa Slicer is an app that you can download so you can upload your 3D designs to it so you can eventually print them out. Once you have it downloaded, you need to open a fresh sheet to upload your design. You need to press the file button on the top right to get the dropdown when you are there. On the dropdown, press import. When you press import, another dropdown will come down and you will need to click the first option. When you click that, your design will be right there to upload. When your design is there, click the Slice now button on the bottom right. Then flip to the bottom of your design and if the bottom is purple, you are good. If it isn't you need to go back to Tinkercad and even the bottom out so it is flat. Once your bottom is purple, you are ready to print.

You need to transfer this design onto an SD card and place that SD card into a 3D printer to print it out. If it doesn't turn out well, you can go back to Tinkercad, fix it, and do it all again. My final design are the 3 pictures.
