Recently, my bro came to me to ask if I could print a box to hold his mouth guards (apparently, he grinds his teeth while sleeping). The guards do come with containers but he finds them too large. For example, he has a drawer in his bathroom to hold toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc., but the mouth guard container is too tall to fit. He has a mouth guard for use at his regular home, 1 for travel, and 1 for his Florida house, and would like a new container for each.
I started out with a simple 2-part box, kind of like some jewellery boxes:
The container on the left is the 1 that comes with the guard. My design's lid slides down over the bottom & is about 1/2" shorter.
I then created a new design, one that's hinged:
I felt this design was an improvement, but the hinge is larger than needed and is completely outside the box. The lift tabs do help, but it's hard to know which side has the latch, so I refined the design:
