bowls<\/a> and turn it into a box. The original heart bowl design didn&#8217;t really lend itself to becoming a box, so I decided to redesign the shape from the ground up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I modeled it up in CAD via Fusion 360 using a pure parametric design and bezier curves. My first heart box I based off of some curves I drew and formed the shape in the &#8220;mesh&#8221; section of the CAD program. This made it more difficult to tweak the shape after I created it, as the mesh was a typical 3D model. By using parameters and curves, I could go back and edit the shape to tweak some features. This makes it a lot more flexible for modifications, and came in handy later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-7.31.16-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-7.31.16-PM-1024x730.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-7.31.16-PM-1024x730.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-7.31.16-PM-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-7.31.16-PM-768x547.png 768w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-7.31.16-PM-1536x1095.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-7.31.16-PM-380x271.png 380w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-7.31.16-PM-1320x941.png 1320w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-7.31.16-PM.png 1552w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I encountered some problems when making the first prototype. The lid didn&#8217;t fit well, and I kind of expected that to happen. I designed it to fit with zero tolerance, but this never works in real life &#8212; in particular with wood or epoxy. Usually you have to make one of the pieces slightly smaller to make it fit right. For the prototype, I just hand sanded down the lid until it fit, but that was rather time consuming and left a few marks on the underneath lip of the lid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t find that acceptable, so I created a prototype lid out of some scrap wood and modified some of the cutting parameters until it easily fit without too much trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prototype has rather thick walls. Lexi, my wife, thought it would look better if it was more petite. Luckily, this wasn&#8217;t too hard to modify due to the way I created the design, so I went back and made the walls a bit thinner. I also took out more material from the lid to make it a bit lighter and easier to remove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I struggled with finding a good way to remove the lid. Initially I wanted it to slide off to the side, and snap shut with magnets. I ordered some small magnets and planned to do this, but I realized that even the smallest magnets would not fit in the small tapered edge of the lid. I experimented with different concepts on how to make it easy to remove the lid, but I didn&#8217;t want anything that interrupted the basic heart shape. So, I settled on replication of the profile and made a small grabber in the middle. It works, but it could be better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a bunch of footage of me making this box&#8230;eventually I&#8217;ll make a video for YouTube!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: Available for sale on my store: Corbin&#8217;s Workshop or Etsy: Box on Etsy I thought it would be fun to add a lid to my heart bowls and turn it into a box.
