Hearing Aid case for Kirkland Signature 5

thingiverse

Here is the original text without any foreign characters: Hearing aid case for Kirkland Signature 5 Premium Hearing Aids, which are the same size and shape as some other hearing aids. This tough little case protects the hearing aids from a lot of abuse with maximum protection and minimum size plus two sets of batteries. Print Settings: Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: .1mm layer or better Infill: Solid Notes: Print 1 main body; 2 lids; 2 battery holders; 1 set of supports, if needed. Lids and battery holders are ABS; the main body is Taulman 3D PCTPE. I printed the two support pieces first using ABS - anything will do. Then I removed them from the print-bed and made sure they were clean and smooth. Next, I put blue tape on the top surface of both support parts. While the main body was printing, I paused it just before the overhang layer around the outside and placed the support ring over the print, tape side up; I repeated this for the central bridged area. I did it this way because I wanted very smooth areas for the lids and hearing aids to sit/set on/in with as little clean-up as possible. This seemed like the best way for the printers I have. Post-Printing: Before use, I added small, soft, fuzzy bits of fleece to the lids and main body of the case where the hearing aids would touch, using double-sided tape dots. The fleece keeps the aids cushioned and safe. I started by scanning the hearing aids on my flatbed scanner. Then I imported the scan into SketchUp to give me the outline of the inside of the case spaces.
