I decided I wanted to make a miniature record crate for them, so I sketched up a design, seen here stylised in a way to spare you all from my pages of scribbled out notes and terrible handwriting:



I then set about creating a 3D model in Fusion360. Here's a fancy gif of the process as I just realised that you can make GIFs of screencaptures pretty easily in Photoshop:



I sent the file to my 3D printer, which took less time than originally estimated (33 hours) as I was able to figure out some places to optimize the process but it still took just shy of 18 hours to finish printing:



Finally I gave it a good sanding, a couple of coatings with some primer, a few black coats with an airbrush, handbrushing the details to the logos and finishing it with a coat of lacquer. You're bored already so I didn't document these individual steps. Either way, here's the finished product:



I'm missing the four records which came in the blind boxes on Record Store Day and also a copy of The Denial Twist so there's plenty of room left for those and others which may be released in future.

That's technically possible but I stopped sharing 3D print files online as people take them then resell on etsy etc. While I'm sure all of you guys are trustworthy it's a blanket rule I stick to as it's annoying to see people profit off your hard work. A few bad apples stop everyone else from getting nice things.

Won't give away because someone else will sell it....

I think there is about 10 people in the world interested in this that would either spend money or time it takes to make on their own. So if you don't want to make 10 of them....post and share it. Wouldn't the joy of a couple people getting one and making their own outweigh the long odds of someone copying it?

Just sell it to the 3 people asking here and send it through dropbox. I would guess they would gladly send a cool $10 your way for the time.
