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.

- Dividers

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.
