Desktop Display Case

This DIY case is designed for displaying objects on a desk or bookcase. The two-piece 3D printed setup features transparent acrylic or plexiglass windows secured by nuts and bolts, allowing easy assembly and disassembly. Objects inside the case can be held in place with glue on the back plastic piece, via pressure from the windows, or left loose to move around when shaken. The current design offers a 3-inch square space for objects up to .215 inches thick (loose fit) or slightly more (pressure fit). To create your own display case, measure and modify the design files according to your desired dimensions, keeping in mind the thickness of the mount and any empty space. The base width should match the mount's, and you may choose to add screw holes if needed. Download the modified STL files and print the two parts on a 3D printer. Next, gather supplies including plexiglass or acrylic for the windows and machine screws/bolts and nuts. Cut the windows to size using instructions from Plaskolite (for working with acrylic) and drill corresponding holes for the screws/bolts. Drill additional holes in the base if not already included in the design. Finally, assemble the case by placing the plexiglass/acrylic windows on the mount and object(s), followed by the second window and base. Secure everything with nuts and bolts, referring to provided pictures for guidance.
