This is a blank version of the case i designed for storing my magnetic marker balls for 3D scanning. It's a blank slate so you can design your own part holding solutions inside.
You can customise this design to accomodate any part/s by bolean'ing the space inside and also just print the hollow version and use it as a latching case for loose hardware and such.
The assembly requires a heat source, ideally a heatgun but a hot air soldering gun or a lighter can also work.
-You print in in the orientation shown in the picture. Which includes some extreme bridging if you're just printing the hollow version so you need to ideally paint on some supports to prevent sagging.
-Pop it of the build plate being careful not to tear the thin living hinge parts, then put the case on a desk, briefly apply heat to the hinge parts, enough to soften them, not melt them, then quickly rotate the top part of the case into closed position and watch the hinge, you want it to have a small radius, not a sharp b
