Ozone Glasses Case (Patreon)

If there's one thing that 3D printing is good at, it's making hard cases for things!  In this case, a hard case for glasses.  This vaguely-triangular-prism-shaped box features a lid that hinges over the top and room to add magnets if you want a little extra security.  

Both sides are build to support adding felt or other cloth to protect against scratching, with the lid incorporating a low border to keep the felt from getting in the way of the moving parts.

And, importantly, there are hexagons!

You might notice the dual-coloured print in the photos - that's simply a plain old filament change a few layers in, taking advantage of the slots on the flat faces.

Print Description

This one's a regular style print.  Infill won't matter too much, but it might affect flexing of those big flat surfaces, so increase it if you want a little more rigidity!

The Ozone Glasses Case is an articulated model that prints assembled, so take care that your bottom layer is nice and neat and that you don't have print issues like stringing or overextrusion that might bind moving parts together!

Print Dimensions

The Ozone Glasses Case occupies 148mm x 155mm on the print bed and is 40mm tall.

Supports needed?

As usual, no supports are needed!  

Optional Magnets

There's room for up to four pairs of 6x3mm cylindrical magnets, but that might be overkill, depending on how paranoid you want to be about keeping glasses secure.  Consider just trying one or two pairs first! 

Scalability

This case is reasonably generous in terms of sizing, but you can probably scale this up or down a little without too much trouble.  Bear in mind, though, that the scaling needs to be uniform or else the circular hinge will start to have trouble!  

Also, scaling will affect the size of the magnet holes, which you can probably get around with a little creativity (and glue.  or filing) if you need to :)

Print Orientation

The Ozone Glasses Case prints open, with both outer flat surfaces against the print bed, like so:
