Film Drop - 35mm Film Case

This is a convenient and easy way to carry and store your 35mm film rolls. On the go or in the fridge (or on the self, you sick sick, uncaring soul!), this holder is perfect. It protects from the elements (sun, moisture, extreme heat and cold) and helps your film stay minty fresh! Compact enough to slip into your pocket too, in most situations that is (skinny pants wearers might have a bit of a bulge, but ya know).

The name "Film Drop" is derived from the shape of a teardrop or raindrop (or both, if you wanna hide those tears). Also, it's the action you make to put film into the case! Let's also acknowledge the sadness averted if you drop this case of film instead of the film its self, shall we? Yep, you are printing potential emotions like, "ecstatic", and "relief" too!

To see actual prints of my design, check out the “Makes” tab (I print basically everything I design.)

Some features of this case are:

• Easy "click" locking, so the top stays on when it should (I'm still bitter about some commercial cases out there that didn't think about that in their offerings)
• The teardrop design makes it versatile in how you set it down, display, or store it. If you need them standing tall, that's an option! Of course, you can always set them on their base (boring but cute), or lay them flat too, for ultra slim-fit situations. (This was the practical reason that I came up with this design actually)
• Handy grip stripes are built into the design, so your hands can best grip that (sometimes slippery) plastic without struggles. Those magical lines make the cae even more easy to open and close!
• Bonus feature for those that go the extra printing mile! If you have a crystal (clear) filament, then you can print this case so that it is semi-translucent. If/When you do this, you can see the rolls of film that are in the case without having to pop the lid! No gonna lie, it's kinda awesome, and it only takes a few tweaks to the standard print settings. Message me for "translucent pointers" and I'll let you know what I did, and you can give me pointers too, if something worked well for you that I haven't tried.
