Description

This case is a mod/remix of, and extension from, my other design, which is a stackable version, which was a remix of two other models that can be found on thingiverse.com, where one of those was a mod/remix of the other, so this is a mod/remix of a mod/remix or my 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 one of the four, leaving room for three 35mm films, for compactness.

Remix/Mod of original by rodgsilva

I took those three models, and decided to make some changes, both major and minor. Here are the noticeable things that I (hopefully) improved.

  1. Remove the “stackable” ridges from my other design, for those that might prefer a smoother finish
  2. Resized and reshaped the film holes in the case into a “teardrop” form for both aesthetics and also because the original 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. The “teardrop” shape also helps with the film canister's shape too (especially with the film leader that sticks out)
  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 made the top half of the case much taller, so it is now fully half the height. This looks better to my eye but, more importantly, it also makes for 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 removed the side lid catches that made the previous version so hard 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, to provide a built-in grip area for removing the top lid
