Description
Printable case for Apple 1st and 2nd gen with flat edges. I've designed two versions, one for the AirPods 1 (no hole for the LED) and one AirPods 2. Their dimensions are identical.
The model is designed to be printed in PLA and fits tightly around the AirPods. I did various test prints and am quite happy with the fit. The case and the lid do not come loose during every day use.
I've printed both parts with the round bottom and top facing to the top. This way I was able to achieve a perfectly smooth outer shell. The model is optimized for bridging, so the supports are only needed at the back. However, for some reason PrusaSlicer offers the control “don't support bridges”, but some of my bridges are still supported. If I check the same box in BambuStudio, it works just fine. Now, I've added manual supports to the files where they are needed. If you know a way to make the supports work just like in BambuStudio, please let me know.
