The story: Wanted to print small case for condoms which could be thrown in a bag and forgotten about without worry that the condoms will get damaged, because you know you should not keep condoms in a wallet. I could not find a single design I liked, everything was too blocky, I wanted something that would be comfortable when carried in the pocket, something like Airpod case, so I quickly whipped out a box without a single sharp corner to be seen. And it failed….obviously. Because perfectly smooth fillets contain impossible overhangs, it prints ugly and it prints ugly even with supports. (relevant video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTvBOGgx48I) Back to the drawing board. So I did fake fillets, that look almost as good and are printable without supports. And then I did so many versions than improved closing and opening and I can say that my child is perfect and I will not hear any criticisms….just kidding, I will be happy to hear any suggestions for improvements. About the model: Use piece of filament wire for the hinge, mine sits there very nicely even without glueing. You have to trim the corners of the Durex wrapper, if you want the condoms to fit very nicely. Its just a small piece, but I was so dumb that I have spent two days redesigning the case to have a little more room in the corners while retaining the smothness of this case, you can check it out here: https://www.printables.com/cs/model/372824-smooth-pocket-case-for-condoms-durex-that-fits-per I have included two versions: Original 16mm - fits three Durex size condoms and most tampons. Slightly larger 18mm - fits even those super large tampons. The included g-code prints the parts sequintially, which is awesome feature if you ask me. Instructions for slicing: Use three perimeter walls instead of the standard two! Otherwise you will get very fuggly corners (at least I do).
