Makerworld has significantly reduced the download/print points awarded to designers. Instead, they have introduced the "Boost" token, which you can apply to models that may not be the most popular (already gaining points from downloads and prints), but are useful or meaningful to you in general. This supports and encourages us, the "losers" (those not focusing on popular themes like Star Wars, car keychains, countless airless balls, etc.), to create more useful or niche designs.
This gift box is crafted with the essence of 5 Blessings, represented by the Chinese phrase 五福臨門 (wǔ fú lín mén), which translates to 'Five Blessings come to your door' in English.
This expression is commonly used to convey wishes for good fortune, prosperity, longevity, happiness, and wealth. It makes for a perfect gift for friends and family to express your love and blessings during the Chinese New Year.
I have created two versions, one measuring 80mm and the other 180mm. The smaller version's pieces can also serve as coasters :)
You can print them in a single color or two colors, with red and gold being traditional choices during the Chinese New Year to symbolize luck. It's advisable to avoid white, black, or any darker colors, as they are considered inauspicious and are associated with funerals.
Don't be shy, take a minute and go ahead and hit that like button ;)
The box is held together with an interlocking mechanism, mimicking traditional Chinese artwork. Assemble them in the following sequence.
Wishing you a blessed Chinese New Year – 新年快樂!
