Printed a case for me, then my colleagues wanted one, too! 😅 Really great design! I love it! Thanks for sharing! 🤗

For the spare plugs floating around in my house
Assembles and slides nicely, does not fall apart

A very nice and fast print. I printed the model with MK4 and Inputshaper and it took about 1 ½ hours. The Overture PETG I used first had warping but after some calibration of the temperatures I got good results, but it could have been better.

The Earplugs fit perfect in the case and the mechanism to colde them works very good.

It's an simple but very user friendly design and just works how it should.

Thanks for designing and sharing the model.

@3DCheck I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the review😇

Printed perfectly, finally a way to storage them

Had a tricky time with these! Printed one in Galaxy Black Prusament PETG (cover) and PLA (inner), and another in Urban Grey + Orange Prusament PETG. Should’ve tried to better hide the seams, and both are wobblier and more loose than I expected. The design is clever, nice-looking, obviously durable, and meticulously documented—just couldn’t manage to get a perfect print. (Could be operator error.) These magnets fit perfectly, but just barely hold closed and don’t seem to have enough strength to hold the thing open: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R87DF1T/ (edited)

@Ordinary Ah, okay—I think I’ve just learned why my larger neodymium magnets seem so much stronger. (Because they ... just are.) Every time I’ve printed a model that a lot of people say is too tight, it’s worked perfectly for me on the first go. I guess this is the reverse situation. I appreciate your model and fantastic instructions regardless!
