Apple earbud holder

thingiverse

Update 5/23/20: I've had the magnets come off several times. If this happens just add a small drop of super glue over the magnet and into the cover. This seals the magent into the cover and I've never had a problem since. Update 9/15/19: I added a version of the earbud holder without magnets. It can be found in Thing Files. 7/4/19 The original earbud holder designed by sneakypoo is a nice design but when I printed it for my daughter she said she had difficulty getting the cable to wrap nicely and the covers to close properly. I started remixing the design but then decided to start a new one from scratch while re-utilizing some of the cool design elements like the butterfly covers and the dual colors. After many, many prototypes and numerous iterations to optimize the design, here is the finished product. I added my own touches with the earbud imprint and mini 3x1mm refrigerator magnets I bought on Amazon for locking the covers. The magnets are pressed in and make a really nice click noise when the covers are closed. I welcome your comments and feedback as this is my first full design. Thanks and enjoy. Please post your makes, I would like to see everyone's choice of colors. My favorite now is transparent covers with a silver main body. Also watch the video in the Post Printing section to see the best way to pack the earbud and cable.
