Stackable 35mm Film Case

thingiverse

This case is a mod/remix of, and extension from, two other models that can be found on thingivers.com, where one of those was a mod/remix of the other, so this is a mod/remix of a mod/remix. The original design (as far as I know) was a case that held four 35mm films, and the second design took that and just removed on of the four, leaving room for three 35mm films, for compactness. Original design (by roflkatofl): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1750288 Remix/Mod of original (by rodgsilva): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4417630 I took those two models, and decided to make some changes, both major and minor. Here are the noticeable things that I (hopefully) improved. ++ 1) Made the cases stackable, or semi-interlockable, should you decide to print more than one of them ++ 2) Slightly enlarged the size of each of the film holes in the case, since they were a bit too tight in my prints. This is particularly good for people who use reloadable film cans, because the narrower version would sometimes accidentally pry the cap off of the film can, ruining the film inside ++ 3) Resized the bottom half of the case, so that the films weren't completely submerged. Now, when fully in the case (bottom), the film can is still has some that are uncovered, with also helps with the reloadable films problem mentioned before, but also just makes them easier to insert and remove ++ 4) I make the top half of the case much taller, so it is no fully half the height. This looks better to my eye but, more importantly, it also makes to a more usable lid that is both easier to take off and put on, but is also better at staying on (the previous version was both really hard to remove AND had problems of the top just popping off at random times, if it wasn't affixed "just so") ++ 5) Because of the changes outline in #4 above, I also remove the side lid catches that made the previous version so have to both open and close. They are no longer needed due to the added size (and subsequent natural friction) of the new top lid and sleeving method ++ 6) Added indent markers on one end, which serve two purposes. The first, and most useful is that it shows you how to line up the top and bottom pieces so that the interlocking notches/grooves line up the way they are supposed to. The second use is to provide a built-in grip area for removing the top lid
