I wanted a pelican-style case for slightly less than the $20 retail price. It's also good practice with 4-bar linkage (the clasp).
Not meant to be waterproof, but a thin layer of silicone in the lid side (valley) would probably help.
Design intent(s):
- top (lid) would be translucent / clear PETG or similar
- bottom (base) would be colorful PETG / same material. Hard.
- link should be pretty soft, color doesn't matter. TPU maybe, or even something springy. PETG makes for a pretty firm grab.
- clasp would be black, PETG works well here.
The pictured print is my first complete "tester" unit, about 3"x4" x2" tall. The lid, base, and clasp are all printed in eSun PETG; the link is Taulman PCTPE (Nylon, basically). All parts are designed to print with minimal support.
Assembly as pictured requires 4 m3 x 20mm bolts + nuts.
I'm uploading a few more sizes, 7x4.5 and 5x3 work well! The 6x4 has an "inserted lid" which can have a 6x4 PETG sheet (https://www.amazon.com/
