Reading Glasses Case

thingiverse

I always carry cheap reading glasses from my local pharmacy or mart in a cloth sleeve. Unfortunately, I've broken two pairs of glasses in this sleeve while it was in my pocket, mainly due to the angle the glasses take when I sit down or crouch. The standard glasses case provided by optometrists or dollar stores is just too bulky for me. I designed this case as a minimalist design, ensuring that it wouldn't occupy much space in my pocket. Additionally, I made it very snug around the glasses so they don't rattle around inside. Most importantly, this case protects my glasses from breaking in my pocket. Initially, I thought that lining the inside of the case with felt would be necessary to protect the lenses, but I haven't seen any scratches using PLA so far. Most glasses are trapezoidal in shape when folded, which means you'll need to take four measurements with the glasses folded and laid down (length, width, big_height, and small_height) and enter them into the code. Check the highlighted comment at the top of glasses_case.py for details. When generating the model, remember that you need to select the inner and outer pieces separately in Blender and export each piece as its own *.stl file.
