Eyewear Case

I really like making cases for things but I have not done it for a while. I recently remembered an old eyewear case project I started about 3 years ago and decided I should revisit it. In fact, the design I made then was still pretty good. I made a few tweaks and here it is…

The case is very simple and relatively easy to print. The lid and main body print separately and then snap together. Once the lid is closed it snaps closed to keep your glasses inside.

With inside dimensions of 155x46x32mm the case will hold most glasses and sunglasses.

Printing

Your default slicer settings should be ok with the design as all the walls and features are thin so 2 walls should suffice.

This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle, a 0.2mm layer height and the following settings:

• Wall Line Count = minimum 2 ( 2 x 0.4mm = 0.8mm walls )
• Top and Bottom Layer Count = minimum 3 ( 3 x 0.2mm = 0.6mm top and bottom )
• Infill = 15%
• Ironing = OFF (not needed)
• Support = Is not required but support in the main body will give you a better inside finish
• Brim = Not required but can be beneficial when printing the main body (can use “Inside and Outside” if needed)
• MATERIAL: PLA or PETG (any material should work fine)
• PRINT ORIENTATION: As illustrated.

Assembly Notes

The lid snaps onto the main body at the hinge. The lid is designed to be snapped on at 90 degrees to the body (90 degrees from the closed position) as illustrated.
