Desiccant IEM Case
Print Profile(1)

Description
I've been trying to figure out how to keep my IEMs dry when I leave them sitting for long periods of time. I've been a big fan of the Westone IEM case, though I always found it a bit too slim so I made a thicker remix to give me a little more room for bigger IEMs. I decided to use that as a starting place to make an IEM case with a slot at the bottom for a standard desiccant pack, the kind you get in every roll of filament.
The case itself can be printed in almost any material (PLAs, PETGs, ABS, etc.) and color; I've enjoyed The insert and gasket should be printed in TPU, with the insert printed without top and bottom layers and your infill pattern and density of choice; I prefer rectilinear and around 25% to allow sufficent airflow between the desiccant slot at the bottom and the IEMs themselves.
I've been playing with printing logos into the top; it's pretty fun to be able to pick a pair of IEMs out of the pile based on the color and logo on the box (silver and blue for Dunu Titan S, red and black for Truthear:Red, etc.). I'm still working on dialing in the print settings for that to make it smooth, but so far I've been pretty pleased with PLA silk and PCTG inclusions.
