Description
The doll "LOL Suprise" is sold in a spherical box, 112mm in diameter. You can make vases from the halves of the box, but they need legs. Or you can make the whole box, connecting half-spheres by a hinge.
The stand model is sliced into parts for better printing experience.
You can change stand's legs quantity, see instructions below.
The hinge has a complicated shape becase its repeated an original part of the box.
For a hinge axis I used a stick from Chupa Chups, 3mm diameter. Use your imagination for any appropriate stick for this axis :)
The half spheres are poorly glued, so I used cyanoacrylate glue with baking soda, as you can see in the photos.
You must have a well calibrated printer including correct flow setting for the filament which you suppose to use. The printing tolerance is 0.15mm.
If you're not sure or didn't understand what I'm talking about - don't waste the time to make this thing. Or don't blame me after, that your printed parts don't fit together.
Also in some cases you'll need to use the tools (needle files for corners, drill bits for holes and etc.) to reach the best result from the printed model. Especially if use don't use Linear Advance or similar algorithm. You shouldn't expect that the model will be fine immediately from the printer. At least not always :)

To get an access to the thing source you'll need an account in OnShape. It can be free, so made it for yourself.
Go to the document by the specified link.
Go to the tab "print setup". There should be a few configurable values in the upper-left corner. Change what you need. Wait while rendering finished then export parts from this tab (see in the bottom-left corner). They already oriented in the best printing position.
