I ordered [this screwdriver set](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0872XMTKS/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_GH8A1PFS0V7SZZEAYN51) after my old-school metal "eyeglass" screwdriver gave me a metal splinter in my thumb. However, the screwdriver kit did not come with a case.
Because I have a Prusa Mini and the screwdrivers were so long (~170mm or so), I wasn't able to draft up a "traditional" hinged box. I opted to create a cylinder, with the following design goals:
- Printed in multiple parts, but it shouldn't feel like it. It should feel sturdy and solid, not flimsy.
- No supports! I have nothing against supports, but I thought it would be fun to figure out how to make this without the need for any supports whatsoever.
- No glue! I like the idea of the structure holding itself together without the need for glue. Nothing should back out over time
- Should be durable. I should be able to chuck it in a toolbag and know it won't break and the screwdrivers won't come loose.
- Optimize for the most comm
