Functional Case for Kynup calipers by LayneBrain on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7355178

Summary:
This is a simple but functional case for Kynup calipers. As someone who is still pretty new to 3D modeling, this project was more about learning and making something useful than creating a perfect CAD masterpiece.I probably designed this in the most convoluted way possible: starting with a silhouette drawing made in GIMP, importing it into Fusion 360 to extrude the shape and create a hollow shell, I also used GIMP to create an offset drawing for the top of the box, then using 3D Builder to fine tune everything until it finally worked. Was it the proper workflow? Probably not. Did it get the job done? Absolutely.If you’re looking for a professionally engineered design from a CAD/CAM expert, you’re definitely in the wrong place. But if you just need a straightforward, functional case for your calipers, this might fit the bill nicely.Print it, use it, improve it, remix it — and maybe learn from my overly complicated process along the way. One nice upgrade would have the top locking into place. NOTE: This is a relatively large print. It helps to rotate the print 45 degrees to get the parts to fit on your print plate. This may be obvious for the 3D print jocks out there, but for the novice like myself, I wish I knew sooner. UPDATE (5/21/2026):After uploading the original version, I decided to start over from scratch because I wasn’t completely happy with the design. The biggest issue was removing the calipers from the case — unless you turned the case upside down and let gravity do the work, getting them out was a bit awkward. To fix that, I added finger holes to make removal much easier.I also wanted the top and bottom halves to stay together a little better. Since I lack the proper engineering terminology, I added male “pimples” to the bottom half and matching female “dimples” to the top half. When the lid slides into place, the two snap together and help keep the case closed.The downside to Version 2 is that the calipers have a little more room to move around inside the case than I would prefer. Still, this version is much more usable overall, and every project teaches me something new. Someday I’ll finally master this whole “size and fit” thing.
