A custom storage case designed to hold two common handheld refractometers side by side:
Alcohol Refractometer 0–80% ATC (the “Specialised” model for spirits: whisky, brandy, vodka, tequila, Chinese spirits etc.)
Handheld Alcohol/Sugar Refractometer 0–25% Alcohol / 0–40% Brix (for wine, beer and grapes)
Each instrument has its own form-fitting cavity, so they stay in place and don’t knock into each other. No more loose tools rolling around in a drawer.
Two lid versions
With window: lets you see the instruments without opening the box. The window is covered with a thin sheet of clear mica (or any thin transparent plastic) glued into the frame. Tip: take your time cutting and gluing the sheet. A clean, flat piece and a thin layer of glue make a big difference. My mica sheet wasn’t great, but with a better one and a bit more care the result will look really good.
Solid lid: no window, nothing extra to glue. Simple, sturdy and quick to print.
Fuzzy skin
The textured finish on the box and lid is done with fuzzy skin. These are my settings (OrcaSlicer):
Setting | Value |
|---|---|
Fuzzy skin | Contour |
Generator mode | Displacement |
Noise type | Billow |
Point distance | 0.2 mm |
Thickness | 0.25 mm |
Feature size | 0.1 mm |
Noise octaves | 1 |
Noise persistence | 0.35 |
Apply to first layer | Off |
The Billow noise gives a soft, stone-like texture that hides layer lines and fingerprints nicely.
What you’ll need
The printed box and one of the lids
For the window version: a sheet of clear mica or thin transparent plastic plus glue
Note: Refractometers from different sellers can vary slightly in size. Please check your instruments against the cavities before printing, especially if yours look different from the ones in the photos.
Happy brewing and distilling! 🍷🥃
