Waterproof match box case - print in place, no supports needed

March 30, 2025
Description
If the weather is rainy or wet, your matches may become wet - and it isn't very pleasant when trying to light up wet matches - so I designed this waterproof matchbox case.
As was said before - it's fully printable without any other components (except one rubber band), and is printable in place without supports!
Printing recommendations:
I recommend you to print it in two colors: the first 6 layers in one color, and the others in a different color.
I printed it with the basic setting of Bambu slicer and it printed well, so I think there is no need to change the settings.
Assemble tutorial:
The only thing you have to do after printing it is to take one rubber band and put it into that rectangular hole:
and that's because of the seal.
Now it's available without the rubber band, with the TPU seal, so you can download this model instead. I haven't a TPU filament so I haven't tested it, so if you encounter any problems, please write it in the comments.
