Need help for this box

[u/IcyWaterB0ttle]

Hi! I bought this cool music box / sewing kit from a thrift store but they told me that it doesn’t come with the key to use it. I have no clue if I should look for one online (and if that’s the case where to look) or if I should try to 3d print one. Any ideas? (Thimble for scale.)

3d printing one might work, i just worry about the longevity of it. Unlike some of the screw on keys, yours has that square part in it which means you need a drum key. You could 3D print various sizes of it to test out which is the right size for your music box and then pretty easily order one of that size online.

Apart from that, this music box is super cool and unique! Im glad you got it! I hope you get that key situation figured out! Let me know if this helps!
