Nee Doh Case

I recently got this Nee Doh fidget toy and my first thought was, my cat will destroy this if she finds it. I also wanted a way to protect it from dust and debris in my office, so I threw together this quick and easy to print case for it. To assemble, snap the 2 halves together and line up the hinge, then take any 1.75mm filament and carefully guide it through the hole in the hinge. Be careful when putting the filament through the hinge, if its brittle and your break it off inside you may have a fairly hard time getting it out unless you have something smaller than 2mm wide and long enough to poke through the other side. I printed a few versions of this while I was designing it and ended up using a couple different filaments to test how they come out. With some of my PLA it was easy to get the hinge assembled, some required me to drill out the hinge a bit with a 2mm drill bit. If it feels like you wont be able to get the filament through don't force it, just drill it out and it will be very easy to insert but will still stay in place. Once you have the filament through, I recommend using flush cutters to cut the filament to size so its nice and smooth on the sides.
