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.
