Eyeglass Case - Magnetic Latch

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted an eyeglass case that was unique, so I designed one. I decided to use Ø5mm x 3mm neodymium magnets for the latch and two M3 x 40mm long screws with nylon lock nuts for the hinges. I used a thin foam sheet glued inside the case for lining and cut it using a printed template to match the shape of the case.</p> <p>Any combination of the two files can be used to make a case; the only difference is the design on the bottom.The file prints well with no supports ( I really would not use supports on the patterned area). I did a color change after .8 mm to make the pattern stand out, printed with the patterned side flat on the bed.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>PETG, any two colors.<br/> Print the first .8mm in one color and then do a color change.<br/> Layer height .15 - .2mm (finer is better for the hinges)<br/> 4 perimeters<br/> No Supports</p> <p>Post Processing:<br/> Print the template and use it to cut a foam sheet to line the bottoms of the case halves, glue in place.<br/> Glue a 5mm x 3mm neodymium magnet in each hole. Check that the polarity is correct first.<br/> Use two M3 x 40mm screws and nylon lock nuts for the hinges.</p>
