Description

I needed a hard case for my sunnies and couldn't find anything that I liked. This is my first print-in-place design and it works superbly! Just print the case, move the joints a couple of times and off you go. The closing mechanism holds the case fast nice and firm. To open the case, simply do what it says on the indentation.

I have also provided a file for a TPU inlet that, once printed, needs to be glued into place. I don't know if it is necessary but I wanted my lenses to sit a little softer within the case.

Print settings:

pick a material you like (I printed a prototype in PETG and the final one that I'm using in PLA+)
0.1 mm layer height (you can go higher if you like)
3 top/bottom layers
2 perimeters
15% infill
the TPU inlet should be printed with 0.2 mm layer height which makes it exactly 3 layers thick

Enjoy a robust case for your Sliver XL!

I'd very much appreciate a “like” if you do and also very much value your feedback and makes!

Nice model, but the angle of the bottom doesn’t print well for me. do you print this without support?

I’m sorry to hear that the print profile didn’t work out for you! correct, I’m not using any supports. actually since my own PLA case very recently melted in the heat inside my car I had to print another case (and printed another one down scaled for my daughters sunnies too). I will attach some fotos for you. suggestions: you could try drying your filament and/or using your own print settings for your particular filament. maybe try downloading the stl and (in case you’ve got orca slicer) try the “reverse on odd” option under “quality”. hope this helps you out and will make you consider a better rating 🙂

@average3D

actually, I just noticed that your print may have experience some warping which is why the layer stacking could have been compromised. in that case simply try to thoroughly clean your print bed surface, use glue of your choice or add a brim ☝🏽️😌
