fully 3d printed mouth guard box
I've designed this instead of buying one, and i wanted to try inlaying the boxing gym logo i train into the box. it worked pretty fine.
i've printed versions of this in PETG (Black), PLA and ABS (white), aside from PLA, they worked fine till now, the PLA one was a older version and it broke on the hinge part, that's why i added a little bit more of structure there
To assemble it just use a spare filament, fit together the 2 parts and put it through the holes with about 3mm left on each side. heat the ends with a lighter and form something close to a nail head just pressing the heated filament with something (even the lighter) onto the piece. it works remarkable well, and i use this type of hinge with filament in a lot of my projects
[UPDATE] I`ve updated the model with a better latch, so it can take more abuse and not open so easily
feel free to remix it and if you want the to check the project in OnShape you can do it in here

Could I add a small circle to the design to house magnets?
Nice design but your clean version does not seem to be clean.
ow... yeah i may had mishandled the files, my bad! thank you for noticing! anyway I just updated the model with a new latch and leave only the clean version there, so no space for mistakes
Thanks, I’ll give it a go.
