Multi-Use Case with Inserts

A small, strong case with a collection of optional inserts for different uses.

Case

Use a section of 1.75mm filament inside the hinge to connect the lid to the base. Depending on your printer/setup, this hole maybe be on the tight side or a bit loose. If tight, drilling out the hole may help. If it is slightly oversized, I suggest melting the end of the filament piece with a soldering iron or lighter.

This can be a standalone case or you can add inserts for more functionality. As requested, I have included the following lids with text to label the contents of your case:

  • Blank Lid (default and easiest to print)
  • AA Lid
  • AAA Lid
  • 9V Lid
  • Digital Media Lid
  • Nozzle Lid
Print Settings

Base and Lid can be printed with 3 perimeters and 0% infill. Using these settings, most walls will be solid.  The combined print time was just over 3 hours for me.

Optional Inserts

  • Battery Holders 
    • AA Holder - fits up to 6 AA batteries
    • AAA Holder - Version 1 fits up to 6 AAA batteries, Version 2 (currently untested) holds up to 8 batteries
    • 9V Holder - fits up to 2 9V batteries
  • Digital Storage Holders - Can be used together or separately
    • MicroSD Card Holder - fits up to 12 MicroSD cards in the lower section
    • SD Card Holder - fits up to 6 SD cards in the upper section
  • Dividers
    • Full Divider - Splits the entire case into 2 compartments
    • Upper Divider - adds 2 compartments on top - Can be used with the Lower Divider
    • Lower Divider - adds 2 compartments on bottom - Can be used with the Upper Divider
  • Nozzle Holders - Can be used together or separately 
    • Upper Nozzle Holder - fits 14 standard nozzles (MK8 or E3D V6)
    • Lower Nozzle Holder - fits 14 standard nozzles (MK8 or E3D V6)
Print Settings

No special print settings are needed for any of the inserts. I used 2 perimeters and 10% infill. Print times range from 35 minutes to 2 hours, depending on which insert(s) you choose to use.
