It has been specifically made for the current Tile Mate models that come with replaceable batteries, starting from 2018 and onwards. If your tile measures exactly 35mm by 35mm by 6.25mm, this is the one you should get. If you have a pre-2018 model, then you need to check out my other design at the following link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2588230 I really love using my Tile Mate Bluetooth tracker, but it has a serious flaw in its design. When I place it on my keyring and put my keys in my pocket, it tends to go off accidentally all the time. This caused me to run down the batteries after just six months, despite knowing that they should last for a whole year. So, I decided to create this protective case that reduces the likelihood of keys or other objects pressing against the button in your pocket. And so far, it has worked amazingly well! This protective case not only helps protect your Tile but also does not reduce its range at all. To get your parts to fit snugly, you should use the Cura feature called "Horizontal Expansion". I set mine to -0.11 and it took me a couple of tries to get the tension just right. The pieces should snap together tightly, but not so tight that you can't open them up when you need to change the batteries. Make sure that the keychain hole is aligned correctly before snapping the parts together. If your pieces won't fit together, then it's probably because you need to calibrate your printer or use "Horizontal expansion" or "print exterior first".
