Description
A compact protective case for the Hohner Special 20 diatonic harmonica, designed for durability, portability, and easy printing.
This case consists of two 3D-printable parts (body and lid) that assemble without screws. The hinge uses a simple 50 mm piece of standard 1.75 mm filament as the pin, making assembly quick and tool-free.

The model is optimized to print without supports and works well on most FDM printers.
