This 3D printable case is designed to protect a Mini BIC lighter from the elements. Its cylindrical shape with a rounded top provides a secure and waterproof enclosure. A small hole at the top allows for attachment to a lanyard, keychain, or carabiner, ensuring easy access and preventing loss. The case's design suggests it's also buoyant, offering an extra layer of security for water-based activities. Ideal for preppers, survivalists, campers, and anyone who values having a reliable fire source, this case ensures your lighter stays dry and functional in any environment. Imagine being stranded in the rain or needing to start a fire after an unexpected swim – this case could be the difference between comfort and hardship. The choice of printing material is crucial; consider using a durable, waterproof filament like TPU or PETG to maximize its protective capabilities. Its simple design should allow for easy and fast printing, even on basic 3D printers. This compact and lightweight case is perfect for adding to your bug-out bag, first-aid kit, or everyday carry.
PETG — PETG, not PLA — it is designed to float and stay watertight outdoors. PLA's glass transition is 61C, so it deforms in a hot car and creeps under sustained load. PETG holds to about 80C and still prints on any open-frame printer, no enclosure needed.
Handles heat, sun and load without an enclosure. The default for gear that leaves the house.
