BoobyTrap

This was a creation driven by a request from my wife who recognized an opportunity to create a case for silicone nipple covers. And, for those wondering what that is… it is essentially a strapless bra made of silicone – two silicone cups. They are relatively popular and surprisingly there are very few storage solutions out there. So this is where my “BoobyTrap” comes in.

What I learned through this project is that the silicone covers need to be very clean in order to work well, therefore a clean case and the ability to wash and dry them with minimal handling is critical to their function. And, what is better, if you keep them clean they can last almost indefinitely (as opposed to about 10 uses when not kept clean).

So in addition to creating separate storage for each cup, I have created space for airflow and the ability to store the trays separately, in their natural shape, and allowing air to circulate for drying them. Then once dry you can snap the layer together and even use this case for travel.

Commercial Opportunity

I was selling this on Amazon for a while and it sold quite well without any advertising or promotion on my part. I believe there is a substantial market out there for this product.

Instructions

Printing

This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle, a 0.2mm layer height and the following settings:

Material: I choose to use PETG for its durability and flexibility.
Wall Line Count = 4 ( 4 x 0.4mm = 1.6mm walls )
Top and Bottom Layer Count = 5 ( 5 x 0.2mm = 1.0mm top and bottom )
Infill = 40%, Cubic
Ironing = OFF (not needed)
Support = No support required
Brim = NO (If you have to use a brim, set it to “outside only”)
Material = PETG recommended (any material should work fine)
Print Orientation: As shown below.

Assembly Notes

No assembly or post-print processing is required.

Where to Get My STL Files

Thangs.com

I am now posting all of my new designs on Thangs.com and plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Some of my older designs may not have been migrated over yet so if they are not available on Thangs.com please check on Thingiverse.

Use, Licensing, Comments and Feedback

My primary distribution site for my design files is Thangs.com. Thangs.com is, in my opinion, leading the way in promoting designers and competition amongst designers which in turn fuels the growth of high-quality 3d printable designs for the benefit of our entire community. However, as a result, some of my designs are only available for free for 1 week from when first posted, so please download them when you see a new file available that you are interested in. Also, please like and save to help me with the competitions.

I do not permit the use of my designs for commercial purposes (i.e. you can not sell my design(s) or products printed from my design(s)) without first acquiring a commercial license from me. On Thangs.com I offer membership accounts for access to all my design files as well as a membership for commercial licensing which allows subscribers to sell printed products using my designs.

I welcome comments and feedback as we as requests for customization of designs. I will do my best to accommodate those requests.
