Travel Earring Rack
Instruction
I wanted to make a rack for my earrings that can be used when traveling. It needed to be able to break down flatter for travel and hold the jewelry steady and safe.
Create these 4 rectangles:
A-190x260 and round the corners to 6
B-13x115
C-3x115
D-100x15 and round the corners to 6
Copy part C and set aside.
Select a part C and a part B and align top and horizontal
Move part D to the bottom of the B/C and then select all 3 and horizontal align
Unlock B/C and stretch them down to overlap part of D
Select B and D (NOT C) and Combine
Select the new piece and Move to Back
Select it with C and Subtract
Create a circle at 1.5mm. Use the grid array to make 26 circles across that are separated by 4mm
Create a box at 5mm and use the grid array to make 10 squares that are 15mm apart
Select your array of circles and duplicate it
On part A give it an inner outline at -10. Select it with A and Subtract
Put the first circle array at the top and center it in there vertically
Create a rectangle that is 10mm wide and put it partway down with the other circle array vertically centered in it.
Put the square array 1/3 from the bottom and add a rectangle from the top of that array to cover the inner sides of part A
Combine the two new rectangles to the outer frame and Send to Back
Select it with all 3 arrays and Subtract
For the part C that we set aside earlier make a total of 8 of them
Select all parts and set them to Cut
User MakerCase to make a box that is 170mm wide x 30mm high and 30mm deep
Set it to Open and Finger and download
Add this SVG to your project
Duplicate the box so you have 2
Create a rectangle that is 65x170
Cut it all out
I cut the rack from acrylic and the boxes from rosewood ply but you can use all of either.
I used default settings for both.
Assemble
Glue the 2 boxes up
Attach the boxes to the 65x170 base so that there is a gap in the middle of them
Glue 4 of the part C to the front of the frame and 4 to the back so that they have a hair over 3mm in between them. These will keep the frame from sliding off the feet
After the glue is dry the frame can be set onto the feet and the box will fit around the bases as well. Alternatively, the boxes can be used next to the rack for another type of organizer.
Now you can add your earrings, necklaces, etc to the rack.
For travel, the earrings can be taped to the rack and a gallon ziplock bag will fit over it to keep them safe.
