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.

Print Settings

Base and Lid can be printed with 3 perimeters and 0% infill. Using these settings, most walls will be solid.
