Lollipop case w/ belt hook

thingiverse

This is an absurd concept someone suggested on Reddit after finding something similar made entirely out of leather. Decided to model it up myself. Went through several revisions, but this one is remarkably solid. The hinge detached itself from the print bed perfectly, the clasp functions flawlessly with no cleaning required except for supports and the clip rotates into position smoothly. This design is intended for fairly large "old fashion gourmet lollipops" as shown. Got the hinge from the remix source. Got the belt loop from another location too, but I've misplaced the model I used. I've modified the belt loop extensively from its original form to suit its use here. Modeled in Tinkercad. Don't print it too quickly and set Horizontal Expansion to 0 to ensure the print-in-place hinges come out correctly. UPDATE(09/07/2023) The swivel for the belt hook snapped on me. Too narrow. Made it significantly thicker and strengthened the belt loop around it to make it more robust. Use a higher infill percentage to ensure strength there and perhaps 3-layer walls. Also, make sure your supports are holding up the gap between the swivel and the belt loop. I had to adjust my default slicer settings to support the belt loop properly there.
