Travel Case for Hive Game, Pocket Version

thingiverse

This is a case for the Hive board game, -Pocket version. The case is tall enough to hold the set you can buy with Mosquito + Ladybug as well as the Pillbug expansion. If you have the Pillbug expansion, print the "Top_Pillbug..." .stl for a lid. If you do NOT have the pillbug expansion, use the "Top_NoPillbug..." stl. It has a deeper spacer in it to take up the room for the missing tiles. Where the case meets the top, there are two wells for standard 6mm x 4mm magnets. I think you can friction fit the lid, but I like magnetic seals for extra security. The magnets should press-fit, but will work loose over time -especially in PLA. Best to put a dab of white-glue in the well to seat permanently. As always, make sure you get the North/South orientation of the magnets all going the same way. This printed well for me at 15% infill, .2 mm layer, 20 mm speed and does not require supports if printed in the orientation given. I prototyped a case at 30 mm speed and that was fine too (it's in the photos), but it does increase the friction fit and may require some smoothing depending on your printer. This is a work in progress. Please provide comments and criticism to help me improve it!
