**9/1/24 Design Improvement:** I've made assembling these cake boxes even easier. Previously, you needed to glue multiple separate bottom cream pieces, which could be time consuming and sometimes tricky to align. Now, all the cream details are part of the bottom plate, allowing you to print one large piece and glue it to the base. This update not only simplifies the assembly process but also ensures perfect alignment every time.

Introducing the Vintage Cake Recipe Box! Inspired by classic cakes from yesteryear, this charming 3D print design adds a nostalgic touch to your kitchen. Featuring a fully 3D printable hinge, it requires no extra items—just a bit of glue for assembly. Designed to fit both 3x5 inches traditional and 4x6 inches standard recipe card sizes.
Beyond holding recipes, it looks super cute on your kitchen counter and can also be used as a storage box for bathroom essentials or jewelry, making it a versatile addition to any room. Perfect for bakers, vintage enthusiasts, and anyone who loves a touch of retro charm!

**Print Settings**
- I recommend using a brim for large items with corners to prevent warping.
- No supports needed for printing. To see the best printing orientation, check the .3mf file.
- 10% infill
- 2-3 walls
- 0.4mm nozzle
- 0.12 - 0.2 mm layer height

**Other Details**
Print at 100% for a 4x6 recipe card or scale to 84% for a standard 3x5 card.

Choose between two cream toppings so you can personalize it even further!

**_Note: With the new design update, you can now skip the step where separate cream pieces are glued individually. Instead, simply glue the entire bottom plate, which includes all the cream details, onto the cake for a faster and easier assembly._**
