X-Rite Display Calibrator Protective Case

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3508678.

I created this custom form fitting case to protect the X-Rite or ColorMunki display calibration hardware. https://www.amazon.ca/X-Rite-EODIS3-i1Display-Pro/dp/B0055MBQOW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=1D20U0J5RFO0Q&keywords=xrite+i1display+pro&qid=1585883463&sprefix=xrite,aps,177&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=skartzamzn01-20&linkId=ce31abb455a1af0e7dc418e0cf92711c&language=en_CA https://www.amazon.ca/X-Rite-EODIS3-i1Display-Pro/dp/B0055MBQOW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=1D20U0J5RFO0Q&keywords=xrite+i1display+pro&qid=1585883463&sprefix=xrite,aps,177&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=skartzamzn01-20&linkId=ce31abb455a1af0e7dc418e0cf92711c&language=en_CA https://www.amazon.ca/X-Rite-EODIS3-i1Display-Pro/dp/B0055MBQOW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=1D20U0J5RFO0Q&keywords=xrite+i1display+pro&qid=1585883463&sprefix=xrite,aps,177&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=skartzamzn01-20&linkId=ce31abb455a1af0e7dc418e0cf92711c&language=en_CA https://www.amazon.ca/X-Rite-EODIS3-i1Display-Pro/dp/B0055MBQOW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=1D20U0J5RFO0Q&keywords=xrite+i1display+pro&qid=1585883463&sprefix=xrite,aps,177&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=skartzamzn01-20&linkId=ce31abb455a1af0e7dc418e0cf92711c&language=en_CA https://www.amazon.ca/X-Rite-EODIS3-i1Display-Pro/dp/B0055MBQOW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=1D20U0J5RFO0Q&keywords=xrite+i1display+pro&qid=1585883463&sprefix=xrite,aps,177&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=skartzamzn01-20&linkId=ce31abb455a1af0e7dc418e0cf92711c&language=en_CA https://www.amazon.ca/X-Rite-EODIS3-i1Display-Pro/dp/B0055MBQOW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=1D20U0J5RFO0Q&keywords=xrite+i1display+pro&qid=1585883463&sprefix=xrite,aps,177&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=skartzamzn01-20&linkId=ce31abb455a1af0e7dc418e0cf92711c&language=en_CA https://www.amazon.ca/X-Rite-EODIS3-i1Display-Pro/dp/B0055MBQOW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=1D20U0J5RFO0Q&keywords=xrite+i1display+pro&qid=1585883463&sprefix=xrite,aps,177&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=skartzamzn01-20&linkId=ce31abb455a1af0e7dc418e0cf92711c&language=en_CA

It will keep it dry and dust free as well. Just throw a desicant pouch into the cord compartment. I printed in three parts...

1. Lid
2. Base
3. Hinge (created using the parametric hinge customizer here: https://www.thingiverse.com/apps/customizer/run?thing_id=2187167)

Because the customizer makes the hinges quite large, I increased the hinge tolerances to be a bit looser fitting and then reduced the size of the hinge in Simplify 3D to 27mm X 62mm before slicing. It took a bit of persuading the break the hinge loose, but I carefully worked at it for a few minutes immediately after the print finished so the plastic was still a bit warm and less brittle. Eventually, it started to move and now it hinges nice and smooth. I attached the hinge using CA glue so that no screws were needed.

If you would like to use the hinge I made, it is in my Things here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3504510 *Remember to reduce the size before slicing to roughly 27mm x 62mm (constrained).

I'm thinking about making a version with spaces to embed magnets to hold it closed. It was an afterthought and I may still drill some holes and glue some into the one I made.

Please Post your Makes. I would love to see how they turn out.

Thanks, Enjoy!
