One print, zero assembly. The hinge and the latch are printed straight into the part. Lift it off the bed, fold it shut, and it clicks closed. No pins, no magnets, no glue.

I wanted something that survives a school bag better than a zip pouch. So the case is built like a small field case: thick walls, chamfered edges, ribbed sides and corner bumpers. Pencils stay put and the lid doesn't crack when a laptop lands on top of it.

What's inside

  • Parallel channels in the bottom tray keep pencils and pens from rolling around and rattling

  • Five round bores at one end hold pencils, brushes or a sharpener upright when the case is open on the desk

  • A long open bay along the back for a ruler, eraser or a few markers

  • Flat lid interior, plenty of room for stencils or a small notepad

How it works

  • Full-length compliant hinge along the rear edge, printed in place – it opens 180° and lies flat on the desk

  • Center snap latch on the front lip holds the lid shut on its own; a thumb press opens it

  • Whole case comes off the printer as a single part

STEP file so you can tweak channel count, bore size or overall length in your own CAD. It's also free for commercial use.

Print footprint is roughly 203 × 172 × 23 mm laid open, so it fits a 220 × 220 bed with room to spare.

Print settings

  • Wall order: Inner/Outer – this is the one setting that matters. It lets the hinge and latch overhangs print cleanly with no supports.

  • Print flat, lid open, exactly as the file is oriented

  • Layer height: 0.2 mm

  • Walls: 2 · Top/bottom: 3

  • Infill: 20 % adaptive cubic (gyroid or grid also fine)

  • Material: PLA (my print). PETG should work too but I haven't tested the latch stiffness in it.

  • Supports: none · Brim: not needed on a clean bed

  • Reference print: ~4 h, ~160 g, Anycubic Kobra X

After printing: work the hinge back and forth a few times. It's meant to be a little stiff on the first fold.

AI disclaimer: No AI was used to create the model, but AI was used to help write the copy and edit the pictures.
