This is a remix of the @CNCKitchen case for his excellent insert inserters. I originally posted this as a make, but I had requests for a model, so here it is. It fits into an Altoids tin and has a small area to put a few of your favourite size of inserts (3mm for me). The original has a nice cover that holds the tools in place better; I might look at adding something like that, especially if there’s room to add a second layer to the case.
 

Most of the original instructions apply, especially about not needing supports (they‘re built in). I wasn’t very successful printing with a larger nozzle, so I’d recommend sticking with 0.4mm. Also, the colour change helps read the numbers.   The .3mf file includes the colour change and uses variable layer height.

 

New:  I added the ‘cover’ remixed from @CNCKitchen's model to hold things in place (after I dropped the tin once!).  It's easy to print (no supports) and you can glue the included handle onto the back of it or design your own (7mm is a good height). 
 

Any attribution should be to @CNCKitchen  please, not to me.
