Snap Ring Plier Tool Case, Hinged 125mm x 168mm

thingiverse

Created to hold a Snap Ring Plier set that needed a case. Tool case for miscellaneous storage. Top and Base are interchangeable: mix and match top and base to create cases with different capacities. Print two tops for an inside depth of 16mm. Print one top and one base for an inside depth of 28.8mm. Print two bases for an inside depth of 37.6mm. Either 5/8" or 3/4" foam works nicely in the base if you wish to hold parts in place. Box sides have a 3° taper. Snaps shut tight and stays closed. One base and one lid fits my snap ring plier set, with a foam insert to hold parts. Insert a wire for the hinge, and plug ends by gluing in a stub of filament. For wire, I use .055" or .047" control rod wire I find at R/C hobby stores. If you are really good at straightening paperclips, that might work for you, too.
