About the music box

This remix takes wizard23's fully printable music box (also in the library) and makes the pin cylinder hollow-ish, so it uses less plastic and prints faster. The pin shape is also simpler and a bit more accurate.

The included cylinder is a demonstration, not a tune: it plays a rising scale followed by rising chords, which is handy for checking that every tooth sounds. To play a real melody you edit the OpenSCAD file, much as you would with the original.
