Dysedåse (nozzle box)

Dysedåse, Norwegian for "dyse" == nozzle, "dåse" == small box/container. With text on the top (or side) I guess PLA would be the easiest, since PETG tends to bleed out a bit too much. The name can be changed in the code. The letters are layed out so it can be printed directly onto the lid if you have multicolour possibilities, or you can just glue them in afterwards. With PETG, that didn't work for me, since it bled too much, so I just used a sharpie, which didn't leave a very good result.

Notes:

See notes above. All and all, I used PETG, but I guess it'll be easier with PLA because of the bleeding of the text.

For the lid to work, you'll need a string or something like a 2mm wide metal shaft. I just used a piece of PETG filament, since it's rather tough and works well (I've seen it work for months without issues on similar models). PLA will also work, but it'll be brittle over time and probably break, but then, it's just a piece of filament ;)

Using a layer of felt or spungy thing in the lid will help out in case you drop the case on the floor, so that the nozzles won't shuffle that much.

How I Designed This

The case is taken from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2104654

The nozzle insert is from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1563872 (because I didn't like the hinges there)

You might want to experiment with the nozzle hole size to make them match your nozzles and your printer's bleed
