Switch Game Card/SD Card Case (Kirby Style)—Purely Printed, No Hardware Needed

1、This is a storage box. No hardware is required, purely print-in-place;

2、The box's inner core is replaceable; the current core features a Kirby-inspired layout, capable of holding twelve Switch game cartridges, two SD cards, and a few small trinkets;

3、The box's hinged lid is inspired by the Apple AirPods case, minimizing aesthetic disruption;

4、Latch: After multiple revisions, the final design incorporates a Kirby wielding a staff (complementing the inner core's design);

Print File Notes:

The files are divided into two parts

Due to the lid's relatively intricate latch, the layer height has been reduced from 0.2mm to 0.12mm to enhance printing precision;

Other parts do not require such high precision;

Assembly Instructions:

Insert the printed pins into the holes on the lid first, then press the entire assembly into the box (this requires some force!);

Ramblings: The box's main structure took only two days to design, but it seemed incomplete without a latch. Designing the latch proved nightmarish! I struggled with both aesthetics and structural integrity, discarding numerous iterations. The initial concept featured Kirby wearing a swordsman's hat, using the small sphere atop it as a latch (two failed attempts!). Ultimately, a reliable hook-and-staff structure proved successful (the initial hook design featured a question mark, which I deemed unsightly).
