Cable Case by BensHacks

UPDATE! An improved version is out:
The living hinges and the lock is replaced with an elastic ribbon. The new version needs fare smaller printbed, no flexible materials and works much better!
This one should be recognized as deprecated.
This case houses a lavalier mic, a set of ear phones and 4 meters extension cord in an handy package.
It was intender to wrap up the complete audio equipment for outdoor video shooting.
Scaling in x direction is not a problem, while scaling in y and z direction influences the living hinges. If you want to scale on y and z directions try to scale proportional.
Make sure the orientation of the first layer is suitable for the living hinges.
To be honest, I am not quite happy with this design. It is quite big. I managed to print it diagonal on my 215x200mm printbed. I used Taulman Nylon 230 witch turned out to be too elastic. So the lid dose not close properly. A stiffer material witch is still usable for living hinges might improve on this problem.
Redisign in progress ... stay tuned!
