After printing a box for my inclinometer, I use for my table saw → https://www.printables.com/model/63528-tool-box-parametric/comments/86291, I decided to 3D print another box to store my micrometer to replace the original wooden box and have an insert adapted to the micrometer shape

I started again from the Tool box parametric https://www.printables.com/model/63528-tool-box-parametric designed by Yanev

I sized the box using Fusion 360 parameters from the original model and design an insert for the micrometer and its tool.

The insert fits exactly the box (0.1mm offset) and can be removed, replaced if needed

There is enough space in the lid to put a piece of foam to protect the micrometer and block the small key in the box

Nothing special for printing. I used Prusament PLA Orange and used 0.20mm height with PrusaSlicer standard parameters. PETG would be better to have more flexible latch

For assembly you'll just need 2 M3x30 screws for the hinge

 

EDIT 08/11/2023

Following good remark from a friend of mine, I'm adding the Gridfinity Storage version for the micrometer that fits in a 4x2 slots frame with ¾ height. Note that the height of the storage box is defined to remain stackable when micrometer is inside. If you not needed, you can lower the height.

I started from Fusion 360 Gridfinity template. The design is parametric and you can choose the size of the box as you want

Note that I didn't print these Gridfinity versions as I don't use this system yet. But should be easy to print as it's a simple model. I share it here just for the “Gridfinity fans” who I think are many

 

On top of .stl and .3mf files, I uploaded Fusion 360 .f3d file so you can modify the design and adapt it to your needs

As usual, feedback and comments (and for sure "likes") will be always welcome. Feel free to post nice pictures of your makes

You can also look at the other tools and accessories organizers I designed and 3D printed

Enjoy
